Richard Biggs Biography – Richard Biggs Wiki
Richard Biggs is an English binocular repair expert working for The Repair Shop since 2017. In 1963, he started his career after getting a job with Wallace Heaton in Bond Street.
He worked there for fifteen months on the Service counter. In the job, Biggs specialized in photo and optical equipment.
He became part of the Russian Equipment Importers (Technical & Optical Equipment Ltd) in 1964. He worked alongside three others where they worked with still and cine cameras, flash guns, projectors, microscopes, telescopes, and binoculars. Biggs worked for the company for 11 years and was promoted to general service manager in charge of 108 staff members.
The expert went on to work with a company named Hanimex as a manager. In early 1980, he exited Hanimex and began his own repair workshop. His shop is known as Action Optics and he runs it from home specializing in telescopes and binoculars.
According to his website, Richard went into “un-retirement” to go sailing. However, he decided it wasn’t for him long-term so sold his boat and returned to work. Biggs trusts that it is his shop’s job to do all they can to assist their customers. He said, “There is a rule that I always drummed into my staff and which I still follow. If an owner takes the trouble to send or bring their binoculars to the workshop thinking there is a problem, then there is a problem.”
“Maybe the unit has a fault, maybe the owner is not using it correctly, or maybe he/she thinks it should do something which it can’t. For example, owners do not always realize that ‘viewing conditions such as heat shimmer, or high altitude air movement, destroy image quality. We have to find the answer and not embarrass the owner.”
