Newport on the move

Armstrong & North Opticians break new ground

We have merged our Newport and Magor practices, and relocated to a brand new, bespoke premises in Friars Walk in Newport, which will be open 7 days a week.

The new practice will be fitted with the latest hospital grade technology, which allows our patients to benefit from the highest standard of eyecare, expertly provided our optometrists in the practice.

All patient records will be transferred securely and confidentially across to the new premises, and the team has been expanded in order to provide the same high quality service, with a wider range of products and services from the new location.

Optometrists Pritpal Sagoo and Elliot Bateman will be providing a comprehensive set of eyecare services from the new practice. Elliot was previously part of Bateman Opticians on Stow Hill, a practice which had been at the heart of the Newport community for 30 years. Also coming onboard from Bateman Opticians is Megan Thomas our Practice Manager. Megan heads up our experienced team including Dispensing Optician Farrah Chilton, Optical Assistant Yasin Salehi, and Optical Assistant Alex Langley who many of you will know from Brian Langley Opticians. The team have a combined 50 years of optical and dispensing experience between them.

Gareth Armstrong, director of Armstrong & North, commented: “As experts in eyecare for the past 40 years, we know how important it is that our patients are looked after properly. The move to Friars Walk will ensure that we can continue to do that for many more years, using the latest technology and offering new services such as independent prescribing and hearing care in our new home.”

The new practice will also stock a wide range of designer frames including the latest styles from Ray-Ban, Oakley, Prada and Calvin Klein, and the latest technology in spectacle lenses and contact lenses.
