Back in January Photobooths relocated to Excelsior House, Halesowen as part of 2017 expansion plans. The relocation has not only provided five times more working space, it has also allowed the factory and offices to merge together to improve collaborative working.
Of course moving into a new building has had it’s obstacles, leaks in roof, no central heating! But Photobooths has already invested more than £1.5m to make the new premises fit for a recognised worldwide company.
The showroom was the first part of the building to be renovated, including new stud walls, new carpet, new lighting, and new central heating!
A few months later, work is still continuing to take place at the new premises, but the team at Photobooths are finally settled down and are certainly steaming ahead.
So far in 2017 Photobooths has released more than 8 new products including LED SteelPod Pro, Combi Magic Mirror Booth, and the iPad Photo Booth.
We have also exhibited at 2 shows in the space of 3 months including The Photography Show, and Deal Dubai, with more global shows on the horizon.
Born in Malta in January 1989, Maurizio has always dreamt of doing something impossible in his life. That’s exactly what he has done a few years ago when he decided to leave everything and moved to the West Midlands. His Passion was also another reason why he has chosen the West Midlands – West Bromwich Albion. Worked in different industries, like tourism, advertising, construction and entertainment, finance was always something that he wanted to do. Asking who Maurizio is to his friends, you would have one simple answer, – Joker, A Caring Person and a Plane Spotter.
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.
