Macclesfield, 8th June 2009 – A new photographic production business has been launched in Macclesfield supported by Lombard, the asset finance arm of The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).
Hangar Seven has been formed by directors Jeremy Middleton and Nick Aldrich and will provide photography, design and artwork services to clients that have volume photographic production requirements. These include the national supermarket chains, DIY chains and large retailers who will use the services for their website and marketing literature.
Both Jeremy and Nick have considerable expertise in this sector having previously established and run APR Photography, which was subsequently acquired by marketing services group Media Square. Jeremy is the former Chief Executive of Media Square and Nick has been involved in a number of successful marketing agency start-ups during the last 15 years.
Hangar Seven will provide clients with a complete photographic production service which includes arranging the location, setting up the products to be photographed, the photography work itself and any necessary art or design work. Lombard in Manchester has provided asset finance for hardware to support the business including photographic equipment, lighting, computers, laptops and servers.
Commenting on the launch Jeremy Middleton said:
"Nick and I are very excited about the launch of Hangar Seven and in some respects it represents a return to our
roots given our previous history in the photography production business. We believe there is a demand for a niche
provider like Hangar Seven and are confident existing and potential clients will be impressed with the service
that we offer."
Relationship Managers Andrew Bailey from Lombard and Jo Jones from RBS provided funding to Hangar Seven.
Andrew said:
"Jeremy and Nick are experienced operators in this market and impressed us with their vision for Hangar Seven.
We are happy to support their plans and look forward to watching the business progress."
