William Wilkie, right, pictured with his children Sian and Willis. Picture: Colin Mearns By Kristy Dorsey He joined his father’s firm in West Dunbartonshire in 1976, right around the time when eyewear was beginning its transformation from the correction of a physical deficiency into a statement of style. Whereas William Wilkie’s dad kept seven or eight spectacle frames in a drawer and “more or less” told customers what they wanted, the wall displays at today’s Wilkie & Rider shops in Alexandria and Dumbarton present customers with hundreds of options. The evolution of opticians from “rather dowdy” storefronts into far more glossy venues also increased the appeal of the market, leading to the growth of major multiples such as Optical Express and Specsavers. Smaller businesses such as Wilkie & Rider that have fended off the encroachment of the national chains now face the added concerns of returning to “normal” trading once the pandemic subsides.
