About Us

We Know What Works

Snappy Snaps was founded in 1983 and has become one of the leading UK retail franchises, and in 2013 became part of The Timpson Group. The franchise has built its operation to include a whole host of retail services including commercial, interior, personalised printing, amateur and professional photographers and photographic processing lab which the company primarily started with.

Snappy Snaps have received numerous awards and accolades from various consumer and trade titles such as “Best Multiple Mini Lab Chain” awards from Pixel Magazine and host awards from “Amateur Photographers”.

The photographic and retail world is fast-paced and ever-changing. Snappy Snaps stays one step ahead of its competition by carrying out extensive research into its market place and personalised art trends. Each store offers a diverse range of unique and personalised products and services in a professional and friendly environment.

“Snappy Snaps offers you the opportunity to operate your own dynamic business in the existing photo imaging market. The potential rewards are excellent but they won’t be achieved overnight or without a major effort on both your part and ours”
