The Wellington companies have joined forces to mark the return to work of employees after months of being furloughed at Specsavers in the town centre.

Emma Davies, a partner at the Wellington Specsavers branch, explained: “We had furloughed 29 members of staff and know that they all had very unique experiences of lockdown, all with their own challenges.

“To welcome them back I wanted something to celebrate the occasion and acknowledge this very strange time that we have all been through.

"I asked them to provide 20-25 words that summed up their lockdown and we then contacted Wellington graphic designers Voodoo Design to create a piece of art.”

She said they were delighted that Tristan King at Voodoo had designed “a great poster which we now have on display in our staff area”.

Tristan added: “It was great to be asked by Emma to develop this very personal shop poster. I thought it was a lovely idea to share all the staff’s personal experiences of lockdown.”
