Tom Broughton

Tom Broughton is the founder of CUBITTS, a modern spectacles company based in King’s Cross, London.

He started wearing spectacles at school and was surprised at the poor selection and general lack of interest in this most transformative of objects - a unique confluence of design, materiality, style, optics, cephalometry and identity. After a decade of career procrastination, Tom launched CUBITTS from his kitchen table in 2013.

It has grown to 16 sites across the UK, a team of over 100, and 250,000 customers across 100 countries.
