Stourport Photo Centre scoops Top Customer Service Award
In a recent independant Mystery Shopper survey carried out within the town, and covering 35 shops, we rose to the challenge and were awarded 95.6% which secured the 'Best Shop' award. The survey covered all aspects of the retail environment, but with an emphasis on Customer Service. This really does endorse the fact that here at Stourport Photo Centre, customer service is paramount, and we always strive to do what is best for each of you.

Meet The Team
Richard Rodgers - Richard has been involved with commercial photo processing since 1985, and has had a passion for photography since he was 12. After leaving university he began taking wedding photographs for a company in Bewdley. His love for creating high quality prints finally steered him away from image capture to concentrate solely on printing. He has given talks at many local camera clubs and advises photographers on Colour Management issues.
Nicola Rodgers - Nicola is Richard's wife and is in charge of the company's accounts department. After leaving school, Nicola attended college and gained qualifications in Business Studies and Marketing. If you are an account customer, Nicola is your contact should you have any admin queries. Her email address is nicola.spc@btconnect.com.
Kelly - Kelly started working at Stourport Photo Centre in 1999 after leaving another photo-processing company, and since then has become extremely skilled in all aspects of photographic printing. The advent of digital has seen her knowledge of computer editing change dramatically, and is now able to undertake quite complex editing and restoration work.
Sheila - Sheila started work in the photo processing industry back in 1985, when she worked with Richard in Bewdley. Following on from this , she worked for Colourcare, which at the time was one of the country's largest commercial processors, after which her first taste of a Pro Lab was a move to working for Colab in Birmingham and Wolverhampton. Sheila's organisational abilities are second to none, and this has really helped with the demands that we have here from different customers and their wide ranging photographic needs.
Simon - Simon's employment background is in engineering, and after being made redundant from a large local company, joined us on a temporary basis to cover the busy summer period in 2003, and has been here ever since. He has developed (no pun intended) his understanding of all aspects of photographic printing and associated computer work, and is now a vital part of our small team. A keen photographer and videographer, he is able to offer advise on various aspects of each.
Bill - Bill's background is also in engineering and has been a popular local photographer for many years. His experience and knowledge of the photographic industry from a photographers standpoint is a great asset to us. He is a valued member of Stourport Camera Club.
James - James is Richard and Nicola's son and joined the family business at the age of 14, working part time during school holidays. He is a very keen photographer, with a willingness to learn and develop his technique and skills. Like other members of staff have done, he is having to learn the ropes from the bottom. There is no favouritism here !
