About the founder

Jamie Murray Wells started Glasses Direct from the living room of his parents’ home in Wiltshire while studying for his University final exams. Four years later - without any formal business training - the 24 year-old has seen the company grow to become the largest direct retailer of custom made prescription glasses in the world.

The company estimates it ships a pair every few minutes round the clock, and has saved the public in excess of $10 million dollars on their glasses.

Jamie has established himself as a national expert on emerging small enterprise, and is often asked to comment on current affairs matters for national newspapers and broadcasters.

Subjects he has spoken about include the postal strike, pre-budget reports from the Government, and capital gains tax. He has appeared on BBC News 24, Radio 5 Live, Tonight, GMTV, and is regularly quoted in a variety of newspapers including the Financial Times and the Daily Telegraph.

According to startups.co.uk, Jamie was rated the top entrepreneur of 2005, beating Sir Richard Branson, Sir Alan Sugar, and Stelios Haji-Ioannou.

Other awards to his name include the Shell Livewire Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Wales and West Country Entrepreneur of the Year Award, NatWest Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Daily Mail Enterprising Young Brit.
