Ian Webb's Story

Ian Webb is Venture's Liverpool franchisee, having recently purchased the franchise as a re-sale. Previously he owned and ran his own consultancy company. Ian saw the opportunity to combine his appreciation of photography with a terrific business opportunity and in a few short months has made a tremendous impact on the studio and significantly improved both the turnover and profitability.

"I've been a Studio Owner with Venture UK for five months. When I was looking for a franchise opportunity, I was keen to ensure that the business model was mature, there was support from the centre during the early months and that there was strong growth potential.

VENTURE UK satisfies all of these criteria. As a Studio Owner, there is never a dull moment, whether it is planning for the future of the business, managing resources, meeting customers or making the sales!

Venture UK is a very professional and well-run franchise business that allows the business owners to fully manage their own destiny."

Steve Harris's Story

Having been interested in photography from a very young age, Steve Harris, who owns Venture studios in Maidstone and Gravesend, hasn't looked back since he became a Venture franchisee four years ago.

"Photography is my passion, so I jumped at the chance of owning my own studio. I work six days a week because this business is my baby and I want it to succeed, but I do have lots of fun along the way.

I spend around 85 per cent of my time running the business and dealing with admin, but when you open a Venture studio you need to be prepared to roll your sleeves up and get involved in all areas of the business to make it work.

The guidance offered by the Field Support Team is second to none and without them and my team I wouldn't be where I am today. All the photographers I know are envious of the brand and people that come into the studio love the Venture experience, so what more could I ask for?"
