Jimmy Fairly – Sales Assistant
About the Company
Boring? Expensive? Dull? Jimmy Fairly was born, not with a want but a need to revolutionise the optical industry. Founded in 2010 by Antonin Chartier, a 23-year-old psychology student with a passion for entrepreneurship, the concept was simple: quality glasses, fair prices, and a positive social impact.
Over a decade later, Jimmy Fairly has grown to over 100 stores across Europe and the UK, successfully bringing great style—through on-trend designs every six weeks—and sustainability—through a short-circuit manufacturing process that upholds quality without compromising the planet. A customer-centric ethos drives us, from welcoming customers into our stores to expert eye testing by our optometrists and seamless assistance from our after-care team.
Together with Restoring Vision, a charity dedicated to ending the global vision crisis, we strive to make life better, every day.
