Histon Opticians
For a professional and personalised service at an affordable price, one that has been trusted for over 30 years – visit Histon Opticians.
Stuart Gibbs opened the first branch of Spectacular Opticians in March, Cambridgeshire. Joined by his brothers, and building on the success of this, branches in Histon, Downham Market, Waterbeach, Newmarket, Chatteris and Ely followed. Together Stuart and Gareth, both Optometrists, and Martin, an Ophthalmologist, have built a thriving family run business with a passion for delivering the highest level of customer care.
Today, Spectacular Opticians continues to be very family orientated. Alongside Stuart, Martin and Gareth, John Attrill, Helen Attrill and David Nash complete the Professional Optometric team. From the dispensers to the reception staff, many of the team have been with the company for a large part of our story so far.
“Dear Mr. Gibbs,
We just have to write in order to tell you that we are so impressed with the service you provide.
We have had the pleasure of meeting and having consultations with all of the ‘Gibbs brothers’ – that is Martin, Stuart & Gareth.
All of you explain everything so clearly, have time for us, and most of all are kind and compassionate. For us, the most important element is that we have total FAITH in all of you and that is not something which we say lightly. Having moved around a lot, we have experienced many opticians and we can tell you with confidence that the customer service that you provide outshines all of them. The ladies on the reception desk and George are warm and welcoming and this makes such a tremendous difference. We felt we had to write because people are so quick to complain in our moden world but we feel that people must also be aware of and receive positive feedback where it is due.
We thank you again for your excellent service.
With our best wishes.
Professor Diane R. Von Helmholtz and Mrs Bryda Von Helmholtz”

Shop Local
Shop Local is a HI HUB initiative that will give Histon & Impington businesses a chance to stimulate their sales and increase footfall, at the same time rewarding local people for supporting them.
Running throughout October 2021, it aims to ensure that every Histon & Impington resident is aware of the fabulous products and services available on our doorstep – and has an extra incentive to find out more about them.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It’s very simple:
1. You think up an offer.
Local businesses, shops and traders, what might tempt more local people to use your services? Maybe ‘5% off’; free coffee on a Monday; free quote; ‘enter a prize draw’… use your imagination! With Halloween and Half Term there is plenty of scope for exciting offers for all ages. You know best what will tempt your potential customers to head in your direction.
2. HI HUB tells everyone about it.
We’ve come up with special series of communications designed to reach everyone in the village:
- An email compiling all the unique special offers will be sent directly to over >1,200 local HI HUB subscribers. (When we asked our readers if they’d welcome a HI HUB email with special offers from local businesses, the answer was an overwhelming YES).
- The special offers will be printed in a pull-out spread in October’s HisImp News – the Parish Council newsletter that is delivered to every household in the village – all 3,500 of them.
- The special offers will remain live on the HI HUB website throughout the month of October.
- Each offer will also be promoted separately through the HI People Community Facebook group.
3. Customers use your services.
To redeem the offer your customer will need to quote HI HUB Shop Local at purchase. And when they do, please keep a note of uptake as we’d love your feedback to help us constantly improve what we do for local businesses.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If you are already listed in the HI HUB Directory of local services, there’s a one-off fee of £25 to be included in the October campaign – just provide us with your logo, your contact details and a 30-word description of your special offer and we will do the rest.
