Entrepreneurial from an early age (car washing, egg round, Betterware, Pools & more), Rob initially ended up in insurance moving from claims to sales and eventually, having studied the subject in his own time, to marketing. Having reached country head of marketing for an international business, in 2007 Rob decided to strike out on his own with an ecommerce business and at the same time make a move into property development. Whilst the e-com business did well, the property development not so. Rob then joined Photobooth.co.uk in 2012 helping to build their leading presence in the market for both hire and sales of photobooths. After spells with other companies, Rob has returned to Photobooths to work with team on the next stage of development and helping customers start & grow their own businesses.

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.
