SPECSAVERS Waterford recently celebrated its 25th year in business. Since opening in 1994, the store has provided essential eye and ear care to the local community. What started out as a team of six employers, has now grown to a team of 33. Store director Garvan Mulligan, together with their team of experienced optometrists, audiologists and highly-trained customer service staff, have strived to provide the best level of service and expertise for the people of Waterford.
