Commenting on the deal Timpson Chief Executive, James Timpson, commented: “We will continue with the well-known Snappy Snaps brand and its successful franchise format. Since we bought Max Spielmann 4 years ago the shops have been transformed from a traditional photo processor into a very successful photo format specialising in passport photos, portraits and photo gifts. Snappy Snaps have also kept ahead of trends in the digital market and their geographical distribution is a perfect fit with Max Spielmann.”
