Who We Are
Since first opening it's doors on Saturday 26th August 1978, Rouse Opticians has grown into one of Hull's largest and most trusted Independent Opticians
The practice was started by husband and wife team Geoff and Ann Rouse. Since then we have steadily grown, opening two more branches, one at the Northpoint Shopping Centre, Bransholme, Hull and the other at 428 Hessle Road, Hull. As our patient base grew we took on more professional staff who eventually became partners in the business, ensuring continuity of care for our patients
Our first professional partner was Geoff's brother Ian (Dispensing Optician) in 1986, followed by Liam Castle (Optometrist) and Paul Newlove (Dispensing Optician) in 1993. We welcomed our son Christopher (Optometrist) into the business in 2012 and our latest partner Paula Howley (Dispensing Optician) in 2016. Ian retired early in 2016 to commit himself to his first love of horticulture. The practice is very family oriented with both Liam's wife Joanne and Paul's wife Julie playing active roles in the business as administrator and technician respectively.
