The Federation of Manufacturing Opticians (FMO) has compiled a list of UK surfacing and glazing labs that have remained open despite the coronavirus crisis.
“Although none of these labs fall into the government’s ‘essential business’ category, they are all undertaking valuable services,” said David Ellison, FMO operations director.
“As we are currently in a dynamic scenario, each lab reserves the right to close at any time, in accordance with the current scenario.”
List updated by DO Online 22 April. Each reserves the right to close in accordance with the situation on a daily basis.
