The beginning...
On a family trip in 1999, Graham Hobson had the realisation that there was no easy way to get his hands on all of the fantastic photos he was taking of his kids on his new digital camera (he’s always been a techie!) Graham teamed up with long time colleague and friend Mark Chapman, and together, they came up with the idea for PhotoBox. It was a crazy idea, especially when you consider that Graham already had a successful financial IT career, not to mention that digital cameras were still not mainstream and broadband was hardly available.
Mark and Graham got the ball rolling with their very first order of £2.74! The two founders were doing everything; marketing, web design and even printing, packaging and posting every single order (they even got their family’s help when it got really busy).
