Retailers and services
While many might complain at the demise of local camera shops, the industry is still packed with great service providers who can impart expert knowledge and offer huge stocks, equipment repairs or rental and lots more at keen prices. These are the essential businesses making the world of photography a better place. From bricks-and-mortar shops to internet- based mega-businesses, these are the cream of the crop – deservedly so. Retailers are the front line, and it’s a worthy list of nominations, from family-owned, multi-site operations like Wilkinson Cameras to specialists such as Grays of Westminster and big retailers such as Wex Photo Video.
Many are also huge players in the fast-growing used market, where specialists like MPB and Ffordes Photographic are key players. These used kit experts help you not only buy tested second-hand gear but also take your old kit for cash or part exchange. It’s sustainability in action. With categories for photo labs providing museum-quality prints or stunning photobooks, training services that will sharpen your skills and the best insurance policy providers, all our nominees offer great service and value for money. So if you have had a great buying experience from one of our shortlisted companies, it’s time to reward them with your vote.
