Very sorry to see this happen. We hosted Bill McCurry recently and he showed me some pictures of your store from a presentation he was giving. The products, merchandising and marketing was excellent and you were certainly well ahead of the industry. One thing I did wonder about was the huge rent you must be paying Central London? The frontage photos indicated you must occupy quite a large space?

Anyhow, great concept and hopefully you can duplicate this without so much overhead. Best of luck for the future.

Big shop is easy when the footfall and the products match - problems are when the footfall is not there. We  started  making a loss and then a big shop = a big loss. Roadworks due to be outside the shop for October and November - not able to make a loss that long. still ..... Next.

Hi Karen,

I really enjoyed my visit to Air this spring. Your store was an inspirational concept, - thou i choose to keep to my turkish bazaar look and feel, - and cram every square mm with stock, kit, or crap !

I was most impressed with the amaising prices you could achieve for enlargements, mounts and frames - who cares about 10p or 12p prints when you can get those prices.

Best wishes to you all whatever you do.
