Wynand Louw is the founding member of the Blind Guys ‘We Only Do Stunning’ brand.
After matriculating, Wynand took up tenure with an international non-profit organisation where he worked as a translator for some ten years before joining Mercedes-Benz Heavy Vehicle Division. During his time with this company, he received numerous awards for his excellent selling and management skills.
In 2009 he established Blind Guys which grew so rapidly that he was able to franchise the first outlet in 2010. By the end of 2017 the group had grown to five company-owned and seven franchised outlets. Wynand then realised that Blind Guys needed a more formal structure. He employed the services of a reputable, FASA-accredited franchise consultancy to assist him in preparing his business to expand, and to offer franchise opportunities in a proper, structured and well-regulated fashion. In March 2017 he applied for FASA membership and since then has been a member in good standing of the Association.
