Having spent two years practicing optometry in the centre of Auckland, Duncan Bush and his wife Gwen, decided there was more to life than living in a big city. In 1975 Duncan started working for A. Brian King. At the end of 1975, Brian King retired and Duncan became the youngest solo practitioner in the country at that time.

Michael Ferguson - Optometrist
