PhotoBox founder
As a father of three young children I found myself taking lots of photos. It was costing a small fortune to buy and process all that film though. Going digital seemed the perfect answer, so back in 1999 I bought my very first digital camera. It was a great little camera but my poor computer soon struggled to store all my digital files. Plus images I painstakingly produced with my own printer just didn’t have the same quality as proper photographs. I was convinced there had to be a better way, which is when I decided to set up PhotoBox. I created the site, with the help of my friends, to allow people to store and share their photos for free. Plus order high quality photographic prints and gifts delivered straight to their door. Since then PhotoBox has gone from strength to strength. We now have over two million members, proving that plenty of people feel as passionate about their pictures as I do. The website has seen lots of improvements over the years but our basic principles remain the same, to offer fantastic photographic products and exceptional service. Thanks to our loyal customer base, we proudly remain the UK’s number one destination for online photo sharing, storing and printing. I sincerely hope that like me, you continue to enjoy making the most of your photos and have a great time using PhotoBox. Graham HobsonPhotoBox founder and CTO of the Photoways Group
