Photobooths.co.uk, the UK’s largest Photo Booth Manufacturer established in Brierley Hill, has invested in a new site in Halesowen to house its offices and factory following on going growth and success.
Managing Director Tim Warrington said that the business would be investing £1.5 million in the new project, in addition to the creation of 10 new jobs in the future.
Excelsior Works, the 1.1-acre site located at Mucklow Hill, Halesowen, was purchased just before the Christmas period. The site compromises of multiple industrial warehouses as well as a spacious, three-storey office block.
Photobooths began trading in 2011 from Hurst Business Park and has sold more than 2000 photo booths worldwide to sole traders and corporate clients including BBC, Monster Energy, Topman, and Jessops etc.
Last year Photobooths celebrated a successful partnership with Moet & Chandon, following the creation of the World’s first personalised champagne photo booth. A series of the photo booths were installed across multiple UK Selfridges and Brown Thomas stores.
Over the past 12 months Photobooths has employed more than 10 new members of staff, doubling the company in size. New product development has also rapidly grown, with the company now manufacturing new industry leading equipment, including Magic Photo Mirrors, and LED Dance Floors, and others to be released in the near future.
To celebrate the launch of their proud relocation, Photobooths are holding an open weekend on the 28th-29th January for new and existing customers to have a guided tour of the premises and demonstration of the product range.

Been in or around engineering/manufacturing my entire life, grandparents who let you build cars with them have their uses!!
After spending 4 years in Leicester studying physics where my final dissertation project was heavily programming based I was keen to begin a career in software development. Working on Photobooths seemed like a fun and interesting place to start.
From College went into the family run business – Advertising Agency. Eventually took over the reins of the company and moved it into a more technical direction. After retirements changed the dynamic of the company we changed direction to a Direct Mailing Company specialising in digital and mailing’s for Electricity companies (MEB, British Gas, nPower). After a profitable run I felt a change was needed and so started a Programming and Consultancy Business. This eventually led me to the world of PhotoBooths and beyond.
