Well its about time that I wrote again and gave you an update about whats happening in the studios. Its been a long time since the last update and for that I am sorry to say its all been my fault. Yep being busy does have a few disadvantages. Since I last posted I have entered into a formal business partnership with a long time friend of mine LANCE BURKITT and between us we have been planning for the last 12months to develop a full partnership together with our various business concerns and to establish a new studio centre in Rotherham. Well as they say the best things come to those who wait!
Its been a long time coming as over the past 5.5 years the Studios at Parkgate have served their purpose hosting many events, model days, hirings and other activities for models, photographers, makeup artists, stylists and other creatives. Its now time to close the studios so this will be the last blog on this forum. We are closing the studios as at the end of December 2011 and will be opening the new ones mid January 2012. Those few weeks may feel like an eternity to many but will be transition over to the new way of working that Lance and myself have been developing for some time.
The new Studio complex will be run under our parent group Aperture Creative Group or ACG for short as we both have been calling it, the web-site is ready the new studio location is waiting for us and we hope that this will be a commercial business venture that will be both exciting and fun for all connected. ACG will comprise of the following organisations Lance Burkitt Photography, Genesia Photography, Pink Lint Films, Rowe Photographic and Melody Beauty & SFX Makeup. As you will be able to tell from the lineup this is a great creative selection of businesses which will be able to provide for clients needs in the Digital Still and Movie areas. We are also working closely with other creatives from Fashion Designers to Product Manufacturers to provide services for them at the new premises.
Ok, ok, the wait is over where is the new place going to be sited, well since the lease has now been signed I can of course tell you that our new location will be at Unit4 the Mews, Station Road, Rotherham. Only 3 minutes from the Rotherham Interchange Bus & Train Station and less than 10 minutes drive from the M1. If you want to know more about this please feel free to ask Lance and Myself about it but we both believe that this venture will be the start of something big and we are currently working with some big names in the Modelling Industry who have agreed to come to our new place from the UK and the USA, keep watching our pages on facebook, twitter and the new website when it comes online in January.
Ok last thing thought you might like to see the new Logo for the business so here it is.
Well thats all folks, thanks for watching and reading this, see you all soon.
