Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Dull? Jimmy Fairly was born out of a need to revolutionise the optical industry.

Founded in 2010 by Antonin Chartier, a 23-year-old psychology student with a passion for entrepreneurship.

Chartier’s concept was simple: quality glasses, fair prices, and a positive social impact.

Now with over 100 stores across Europe and the UK, Jimmy Fairly is successfully bringing back great style and a smile to the optical world.

Great style by dropping on-trend designs every 6 weeks, with a short-circuit manufacturing process that does not compromise on quality or our planet.

A smile with a customer-centric approach, from the moment a customer enters a Jimmy store, to having their eyes tested by our expert optometrists and seeking help from our exceptional after-care team.

Better every day!

Since day one, we have partnered with Restoring Vision, an international charity committed to ending the global vision crisis.
