OUR TEAM

Rebecca is the Clinical Director of Millicans and Mansfield opticians. Prior to joining the practice, she worked as a medical optometrist at the Bristol Eye Hospital in both the glaucoma and corneal departments gaining invaluable experience in the treatment of complex eye conditions. She is a consultant to the contact lens industry and was runner up as Contact Lens Practitioner of the Year at the 2023 Optician Awards. Her commitment to patients extends outside of the testing room as Rebecca works for both national and local professional bodies, helping to shape the landscape of optometry. When she isn't doing something eye related she enjoys travelling and hiking.

Josh is our trainee dispensing optician. He has a keen eye for detail when measuring and dispensing spectacles. He enjoys presenting patients with options for their eyewear they have not considered before like high contrast sunglasses for sports and is expert at finding a frame that suits your features and personal style. Outside of work he enjoys going to the cinema and bowling with his friends.

Lee is a qualified Dispensing Optician and Operational Director of Millicans and Mansfield Opticians. He began his career in 1998 working alongside David Millican. With a strong focus on patient care, Lee also runs specialist Visual Stress clinics, helping to improve reading comfort through the use of coloured filters tailored to each individual’s needs. Aside from his expert advice in lens and frames, his other superpower is maintaining a happy and relaxed team with his sense of humour and constant provision of hot drinks throughout the day. Lee enjoys spending time outdoors, particularly camping trips on the coast with his family.

Daniel works with us as an Optical Assistant, helping the team and our patients with every aspect of their journey. He’s also studying for his A-levels, balancing work and study while building experience in the optical field. He may even follow in the footsteps of his dad, aunt, grandfather and great-grandfather and do a degree in optics himself!

Sam is Founding Director at Millicans and Mansfield Opticians. Sam began her journey at her dad's practice Millicans Eye Centre in 2013. Inspired by the world of eye care and following in the footsteps of her dad, uncles, granddad, and great uncles, all of whom are optometrists, she decided to pursue a career in the field. She qualified as a Dispensing Optician in 2017, and after a few more years of study and experience, became a fully qualified Optometrist in 2023. Whether it’s a routine check-up or solving a more complex issue, Sam is passionate about providing the best possible care. Sam has a degree in fashion and along with Lee plays a key role in curating our beautiful range of eyewear. In her free time, she enjoys running and swimming and is the proud mum to her daughter Evelyn.

Sharron has worked as a receptionist first for Mansfield Opticians and in the new merged practice for 4 years. She enjoys meeting and greeting the public and ensuring a friendly smooth visit for all our patients. Sharron is often wearing beautiful clothing she designs and makes herself. Her keen eye for fashion is a great help when helping patients choose frames.

Maria joined Mansfield Opticians in 2021 before the merging of Millicans Eye Centre. When she is not booking your appointment or ordering your contact lenses, she enjoys running, walking, and singing in St Cuthbert's Church choir. She also co-runs Wells Scottish Country Dancing Club!

Ryan is our optical assistant. His favourite piece of optical knowledge is that birefringence was used by Vikings to find the position of the Sun on a cloudy day. Aside from quality checking glasses he enjoys videography and rock climbing.
