Newly-Wed Employee Takes Over Fotostop Franchise In Warminster

Sunday 1 August 2004

Andrew Roberts, who has worked at Fotostop, in the High Street, Warminster, for the last six years, has bought the franchise from his employer David Tomlinson.

Andrew becomes the new co-proprietor with his wife Jennifer. The couple were married at the Parish Church of St. Denys, The Minster, Warminster, on Saturday 17th July 2004, only two weeks after acquiring the business.

David Tomlinson, who was also the pharmacist at the former Gibson’s chemist, in the High Street, now works in Chippenham. When he decided, after ten years, to call it a day with Fotostop in Warminster, Andrew immediately saw it as an opportunity for himself and had no hesitation in proceeding with the purchase. He says “It was a natural step to take.”

Andrew, 28, has lived in Warminster since he was six years old. Jennifer (nee Gilham) is originally from Bromley in Kent. She came to Warminster five years ago.

The couple say they will not be making too many changes at Fotostop in Warminster, except to take further steps forward with digital photography printing. This will be upgraded by Christmas, with the installation of equipment to provide digital printing on site.

Continuing to help in the shop will be Jean Garrett, who has been an employee at Fotostop for two years.

Andrew says “Acquiring the business and getting married at the same time has kept Jen and myself very busy but we know the business, through experience, and the change-over has been fairly smooth. Our customers are nearly all local, except for a few tourists, and we can cater for the majority of their photography requirements.”

The Fotostop franchise has over 150 stores nationwide, and offers photo developing and printing as well as the sale of photography accessories.
