HSBC have appointed American financial advisors to consider plans for the disposal of Jessops. There is "no comment" from the Jessops board or HSBC.

I have been to Jessops twice recently and had problems both times. I done the click and collect both times, and when I got there they said ' Sorry, we were about to call you, the stock shown on the internet is the showroom model, we can get one in from head office in a week', I was rather annoyed at this and the fact it happened twice was extra grating! In the end after a bit of moaning they did agree to sell me the showroom model for 25% off, with all of the consumables replaced so it was a win in the end.

What a pain in the backside though, plus there employees don't seem to know what a camera is!

While i'm having a moan, their in-store printing is terrible in Norwich, the quality is rubbish, late and a complete waste of money, no wonder online companies are taking over.

I remember when my Dad bought his film SLR in the early 90's from the original Norwich Jessops, which was a small specialist feeling store, with employees who really knew what they were on about and were eager to help. They certainly lost their way, pull you're finger out Jessops, go back to your roots

Do you have a source for this?

That was in 2010.

In The Times business section today, Jessops have reported a 3 per cent rise in sales for the year to 31st Jan., and say they are cautiously optimistic about this year.

Also, see the report on the home page of ePz !
