SPEQeez was founded on a simple but powerful belief: your existing frames deserve a second life. After 21 years in the optical retail sector, I've seen firsthand how the industry operates – and how it could be better.
The high street optical industry has a problem. Most opticians actively discourage customers from keeping their existing frames or repairing damaged ones. Why? Because selling new frames is more profitable. This creates unnecessary waste and forces customers to spend more than they need to.
I identified a critical need for more sustainability in the eyewear industry. People want to use their existing frames – frames they love, frames that suit them perfectly, frames with sentimental value. They shouldn't be forced to buy new ones every time they need a prescription update or a simple repair.
That's where SPEQeez comes in. By operating online, we've eliminated the overhead costs of physical retail locations, allowing us to offer prices that are far more competitive than high street opticians. We can focus on what really matters: providing expert reglazing and repair services that extend the life of your eyewear.
With experience in both dispensing and lab work, I understand every aspect of the eyewear process. This expertise allows us to deliver professional results that match or exceed what you'd get from traditional opticians – at a fraction of the price.
