About Andre - Founder of SpeckyFourEyes.com

• Awarded Success in Business Award 2007 by Anglia Ruskin University.
• Shell LiveWire Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2007 Regional Finalist
• Conceived the idea of selling glasses online whilst in his final year at University aged just 23.
• Whilst studying for his Optics degree at University Andre noticed a 'subconscious' push towards eventually working for a standard high street optical store - but he wanted more than that and didn't want to follow the crowd. This drove and inspired him to create his own business in competition with the major high street optical retailers. Andre worked out the cost of manufacturing an average pair of glasses and found out that the high street stores were making a fortune. By creating an online outlet he has managed to keep overheads down, therefore enabling SpeckyFourEyes.com to sell glasses for as little as £12 - compared to the average UK High Street price of £148!
• Working with a local web development company – i4ce – Andre created an online outlet which enabled him to provide customers a jargon free pleasant online shopping experience.
• Andre's huge achievements have been officially recognised and he's been rewarded by becoming a Regional Finalist in the Shell LiveWire Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2007 Awards.
