Jessops Cardiff
Located on the ground floor on the corner of North Edward Street, Jessops is at 4 Churchill House, Churchill Way. Jessops is a phoenix from the ashes. Two days after Jessops Group Limited went into administration in January 2013, it was announced that all 187 stores would close, with a loss of more than a thousand jobs. However, at the end of January 2013 the Jessops brand and various assets were acquired by entrepreneur Peter Jones. Since then, several dozen Jessops stores have reopened.
The Jessops Group Ltd
Jessop's were formed in Leicester in 1935 by Frank Jessop.
They were once the largest specialist supplier of photographic equipment in the UK. At their peak they had 335 stores. In 2007 the company suffered financial crisis, due to increased competition from supermarkets and internet retailers, and had to close some stores.
In January 2013 the company went into administration and its 187 remaining stores across the UK closed on January 11th with the loss of 1,370 jobs.
The brand was bought by entrepreneur Peter Jones and relaunched on 28 March 2013. Up to 30 stores are expected to re-open.
