Introducing Harrison:

Harrison works in the office for Extreme Eyewear, but you may see him bustling around the practice at times or watering the plants outside. Harrison is our top researcher, he never makes a decision without thoroughly investigating all the possibilities first. He loves cars and vehicles in general and has a car that he sometimes takes to car shows across the country.

Harrison spends half his time living on his boat and looks after things like graphic design, website alterations and the online sales area of Extreme Eyewear. He is a commuter cyclist and often takes part in fundraising events for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
