DE Photo (Franchising) Ltd Testimonials
I’ve been with DE Photo since 2007 and I can honestly say it just gets better each year. I genuinely look forward to each day’s challenges and rewards with equal anticipation. It is a fantastic opportunity for anyone willing to put in the effort and time and not before long being able to reap the rewards. I love meeting people and telling them I love my job, as I don’t believe they hear that said very often nowadays. It seems I am the exception!

I have been with DE Photo since September 2009, and not many people are lucky enough to be able to make a living from what was a hobby. There is a great network within the DE Photo community, with everyone willing to help each other out, from the most experienced Franchisee, to all at Head Office. Here's looking forward to many more DE years!!
Richard Chubb,
DE Photo (Franchising) Ltd
I have been running my DE photo franchise since 2007, and the business model continues to prove successful, even in these difficult financial times. Customers are genuinely grateful and happy to be able to purchase a high-quality photograph of their child, and at many events, the photography is an important integral part of the event. There is continuous upgrading of systems and website development to ensure that the latest modes of internet viewing and ordering are catered for, and this sits comfortably alongside the on-site sales. I genuinely believe that no-one does it better than DE Photo!

Working for myself is enjoyable when you have such fantastic support from the DE Photo head office. Everything is made easy, from ordering stock, to the development of our fabulous new website, always researching new products and ideas to stay ahead of our competition. I’ve been with DE Photo since 2008, doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun!
Lilya Jones,
DE Photo (Franchising) Ltd
We started by working as photographers for a DE Branch in 2007 and soon realised it was a business that was enjoyable and profitable. DE Photo was a great opportunity for us to work in photography and sport, both of which we are passionate about. It’s a set up that organisers, competitors and parents love and you quickly become part of each club you attend, which not only creates great relationships but repeated work. The overall setup is great and running our own business gives us freedom and full control over your careers.

The DE Photo system is tried and tested and the franchise has successfully evolved over the years to become the UK's number one Event Photography business. Franchisees don't have to sell anything - the product does that all by itself..! This business model works!
