Kimberley Opticians was founded by Liz and Tom Jackson in 2011 after initially setting up their Oakwood practice in 1994, followed by Alvaston Opticians in 2007. In 2023, their friend and business partner, Dr Farra Hargreaves, joined the practice. Dr Hargreaves brought with her over 20 years of experience in community and hospital work, glaucoma and emergency care, and directorship at the NHS. At the end of 2025, after 31 years of dedicated service, the Jacksons decided to wind down and passed ownership to Farra, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter built on the heritage of world-class patient care for which Kimberley Opticians is known.
