Why work for us?...
Our journey began over 15 years ago when we discovered that finding purpose-built sports eyewear on the high street was almost impossible. Most opticians are not equipped to advise on sports glasses and we wanted to change that.
We quickly developed our previous optical knowledge to become high-level experts on specialist performance eyewear. We knew there was a high demand for prescription sports glasses and wanted to make sure we could reach all locations. This is why we created RxSport, a specialist eyewear website for sports lovers, by sports lovers.
Tortoise+Black was launched 5 years ago, applying the same expertise and approach to luxury eyewear. Growing fast, we now feel that we offer our customers a full optical solution. With a curated collection, Tortoise+Black offers the opportunity to work closely with iconic fashion houses like Gucci and Balenciaga as well as independent brands like Cutler and Gross and Garrett Leight.
With the fast growing nature of the business, comes the potential for career development and advancement.
