Huw Owens – Optometrist

Huw has been an Optometrist for the best part of 20 years, graduating from Cardiff University in 2004.

Huw began working at A1 Eyewear in 2018. Originally from Caernarfon, Wrexham has always been his second home, with both his mum and grandparents originating from Coedpoeth.

Huw has three children: Millie, aged 8, and twins Sam & Harriet aged 5. This means very little spare time; however his main interests are football (attending the occasional match at the Racecourse) and Golf.
