the new owners of the camera specialist jessops are targeting a return to profitability this year as the retailer tries to draw a line under a turbulent period that saw it come close to collapse .

“given that social media is all about swapping photos on a smart phone , jessops’ market has become specialist , for semi - professional photographers , and that’s not enough to justify a big chain .

our story attracted comments from jessops staff members both past and present , as well as from consumers , who debated the reasons for its demise and what this means for the future of the high street .
describing the sudden development as “an extremely sad day for jessops and its employees” , administrator pricewaterhousecoopers said even more jobs could be lost in future when the fate of the company’s leicester head office is decided .
although jessops is a recognised high street brand , bringing with it the advantage of familiarity , with online competition from the likes of urltoken often undercutting prices on the high street , the challenge is clear .
mr jones said :
i believe jessops is an iconic british brand which can lead the retail resurgence on britain ' s high streets , powered by new innovations and world - leading , expert staff .

mr jones , best known for his appearances on the bbc’s dragons den programme , bought the jessops brand , residual stock and certain other assets from administrator pwc as part of a joint venture with restructuring specialist hilco .
with fewer overheads thanks to the reduction of the number of physical locations , jessops still has to encourage people to part with their cash , rather than using the store as a place to browse before buying online .
mr jones said that the new jessops is a business which should be able to deliver £80m of revenue in the first year , but that he hopes it will be making £200m of sales within three to five years .
retail analyst nick bubb said the quality of mobile phone cameras and the popularity of tablets such as the ipad were both detrimental to jessops . “smart phones are getting better and better at taking photos , ” he said .
“i’m taking the helm as chairman and chief executive because i believe jessops is an iconic british brand which can lead the retail resurgence on britain’s high streets , powered by new innovations and world - leading , expert staff .
the company was forced to close its store in the chapelfield shopping centre when it collapsed into administration in january 2013 , leading to the closure of all 187 jessops stores and the loss of almost 1 , 500 jobs .
the failures of hmv , blockbuster and jessops occurred close together because january is the optimum time for creditors to call in administrators . the shop tills are full of cash and shop stock is at an all - year low .
commenting on latest moves , executive chairman david adams , said :
the strategy allows us to re - position jessops as a true multi - channel retailer , building on our core strengths in the digital imaging market place .
“meanwhile , while the professional market has remained fairly solid many photographers have been content to buy from niche online specialists where prices are cheaper and ranges are more extensive . this has left jessops serving a dwindling number of consumers . ”
“this is an extremely sad day for jessops and its employees . we are very grateful for the support we have received since our appointment and we will continue to ensure that employees are paid as they assist us during the closure . ”
jones is now chairman and chief executive of jessops , after investing £4m in the brand back in februar y after a rocky start to the year which saw the firm go into administration and close all shop s in the same week .
the store opening programme will lead to the creation of some 500 jobs , half of whom will be previous jessops employees who lost their jobs when the retailer’s 192 shops closed in january . the closure led to 2 , 000 job losses .
the moon is in its last quarter . during the first and last quarters , the moon’s surface can be observed in the most detail . binoculars and telescopes are great for observing the moon . consider the celestron ps1000 telescope , exclusive to jessops .
the company initially reaped the rewards of the boom in digital cameras , investing heavily in digital technology as the medium took over from traditional film , and by 2001 the number of jessops branches on the high street had swelled to more than 200 .
“image is everything , and even in the mobile and tablet era , there’s no substitute for a quality camera when it comes to taking the perfect picture . jessops’ hallmark expertise and customer service will now be available again to customers across the uk .
jessops offers an extensive range of photography products including digital cameras , action & video cameras , lenses , camera accessories , drones , binoculars and telescopes from top brands including sony , nikon , canon , olympus , fujifilm , pentax , dji and more .
electronics , no less in the photography area , is a highly competitive segment of the retail sector , whether shop based or internet , and if jessops is to survive then they have to have something extra in terms of their offer to the public .
my experience with jessops is that as they ' ve expanded they ' ve lost the in - store experts that could have guided you through a purchase or could actually speak the language of a photographer . when you ' re going to spend several hundred pounds on a new lens you want to be able to talk to someone who has used that lens , or even one who just understands a bit about exposure . sadly jessops hadn ' t invested in staff training . i was in the market for a new zoom last summer and went to jessops , but none of the staff could tell me any more about the lens than what was on their website . nor had any of them used it . in the end i went to a camera specialist on the internet and chatted to the sales person for a good long while , i was pointed to useful resources on their site , spoke to another user of the lens and so on . it was like the jessops of old . this company might have survived with more imaginative management - why not offer masterclasses with local photographers and photography clubs in the style of the apple classes ? a crying shame for those people who are about to lose their jobs . thanks to those with jessops who helped me get into photography .
ever since the retailer was floated in 2004 by abn ambro capital with a value of £160m , jessops’ camera sales have been under pressure from the rise of the internet , smartphones , and retailers such as tesco moving into the digital cameras and accessories market .
“the stock will be collected over the coming days and returned to a central warehouse . it will be returned to suppliers if they are entitled to it . as a consequence of the closure , jessops is no longer able to accept returned product from customers .
without the jessops being open in some of the neighbouring towns and cities like banbury and oxford , we are getting a lot of people travelling good distances because we do what they can ' t find in their own towns now ,
says mr peckham .
in 2010 , mr moore said : “i don’t think it gets much more secure than being 47 per cent owned by hsbc . they are committed to a long - term plan for jessops - it is not about a quick turnaround or spin - out . ”
the shop is one of 77 former jessops stores that have either reopened , or are in the process of doing so , since the camera chain collapsed six months ago , research by bbc radio 4 ' s consumer affairs programme , you and yours , has revealed .
high street camera chain jessops became the latest retailer to fall victim of the ongoing economic downturn , and fell into administration on wednesday . up to 2 , 000 jobs are at risk , with administrators pricewaterhousecoopers admitting that at least some of the 192 stores would close .
jessops , which opened its first shop in 1935 , becomes britain’s first high street casualty of 2013 . as recently as 2009 , the company sidestepped administration after securing a debt - for - equity swap with its lender , hsbc , after a litany of profit warnings .
jessops shareholders were wiped out last year as hsbc gained control of the retailer after a lengthy restructuring . the bank now owns 47 % after agreeing to write off £34m of debt . the most recent figures available show a loss of £13m for the six months to 29 march 2009 .
the stock will be collected over the coming days and returned to a central warehouse . it will be returned to suppliers if they are entitled to it . as a consequence of the closure , jessops is no longer able to accept returned product from customers ,
mr hunt said .
it makes you think how much money they are making on one lens when you see the difference in price . jessops are £204 . 00 more in price than pro camera shop urltoken , yet pro camera shop urltoken must be making a profit at £594 . 00 . this is why these places closed in the first place . maybe you should go onto
dragons den
and sell the idea of buying of buying a lens from pro camera shop urltoken and sell it at jessops for a substantial
mark up
. i wonder if peter jones would be interested lol .
the jessops brand itself was bought by a consortium including the businessman and star of tv ' s dragons ' den , peter jones . so far they ' ve reopened 25 of the stores , targeting large towns and cities within easy reach of lots of potential customers to complement their online business .
jessops , the uk’s largest and most prominent high street camera retailer , will be closing down all 187 of its stores today . the chain went into administration several days ago , with pricewaterhousecoopers taking up duties to try and find a buyer for the troubled company . a total of 1 , 370 jobs will be lost as a result of the store closures , but further jobs could be at risk at the company’s headquarters in leicester . anyone expecting a flood of cheap cameras will be in for a disappointment , however : all of jessops’ stock will be rounded up and returned to central warehouses .
jessops approved used camera specialist camera jungle has been selling camera equipment to thousands of happy customers for the last 4 years . all of the camera jungle ' s staff are passionate photographers and all their cameras , lenses and flashguns have been lovingly serviced by experts and come with a 12 month guarantee .
but with the opening of the first two shops on thursday , march 28 , followed by a further four over the easter weekend , and then 30 more by the end of april , mr jones is intent on re - establishing jessops as a multi - channel retailer with a national high street presence .
with jessops chargeing 35pounds for their own 256mb memory card you can a brand name sandisk 1gb for 9 . 99 do you ever wonder why they cant make a profit . as sandisk are a quality brand . re jsp share price 5 . 35 to 7 . 13p is on the cards fpr thursday . !
moore said jessops ' sales were being boosted by the advent of a new breed of kit , the compact system camera – for example , the olympus pen , promoted by the actor kevin spacey in a recent advert . the camera is a halfway house between a standard digital camera and more expensive slr models .
i used to work at jessops . the reasons it led to this were because they can ' t compete with amazon and other online stores and also they opened too many new stores and refurbished others too much . they effectively increased costs but saw revenue barely increase . i feel for the staff and my former colleagues who are some of the best people i know but upper management i . e . the directors and board members made ridiculous choices . for example a £1 million ( rumoured figure ) refit of their new oxford street branch only a few years after a previous refit during a time where money is tight was a completely wrong idea . however i don ' t think they will go under . canon and the other camera manufacturers may bail them out by buying shares from hsbc ( who own jessops ) because jessops is a major launching platform for new cameras and accessories . if they go under the manufacturers will not be able to display and demonstrate their new products ( with the exception of events etc ) and thus sales and profit in the long run might be affected . either way i wish all the jessops staff ( except upper management of course ) the best and hope that whatever happens everything will work out for them .
with jessops reopening i checked to see what price they want for the sigma 150 - 500mm lens it came up at £799 . 00 . i have just paid £594 . 00 no postal charges , for that lens new from pro camera shop urltoken . ( there are people paying almost that for a used one on ebay ) . it was posted from crawley east sussex and i received in less than 48 hours . i must say i was very pleased with the price and the service and i will allways go to them first . so i think jessops will have to look at thier pricing if they are to succeed .

thank you for the replies . ( i managed to save £40 on my new 400d just by waiting a day i was wondering where most people here buy their camera equipment . being fairly new , i have only heard of jessops and a couple of other stores but i ' d be very interest to learn of other good ( and inexpensive ) shops or wesbites .
despite my above complaints , i ' m looking forward to the following few weeks ; it ' ll be a whole new experience for both my career and myself , and i am prepared for an onslaught of customers . with that in mind , if you were given something to be claimed by jessops , like a gift card , whatever you do , please don ' t be an asshole . this is a big opportunity for the whole ' do unto others ' thing . i have no answers , only facts and figures . i will not be able to do a lot from behind my till , so from one anonymous jessops employee to you , please be reassured when i say i ' m already doing anything and everything that i can .
recently jessops have issued profits warnings and their share price has dropped due to sales not meeting targets . obviously if that continued , they would need to streamline , but i ' ve not read any reports thus far that suggested such a move was actually going to happen . the digital camera market has grown substantially in recent years , but pricing is ultra competitative . you can normally get a better deal from one of the big online retailers unless you can persuade your local jessops to price match . some will , some won ' t . some small retailers are equally threatened as canon have stopped suppling unless they have a reasonable turnover and can order in reasonable quantity . one could argue that is fair enough - a local high street retailer near where i live was still selling canon eos 500n after the 300v had some out ( the model had been replaced twice over ) . there are plenty of threads on here about jessops and their varied levels of service and pricing . just do your homework on the price beforehand to ensure you don ' t get charged too much and if they won ' t price match walk away . jo
2009 : fears that jessops may have suffered from a christmas spending slowdown are dispelled with news that the photography chain reported a 3 . 1 % increase in like - for - like sales for the five weeks to 5 january . however , sales for the 14 weeks to 5 january were down 5 . 6 % , the firm says in a statement issued on 9 january .
thank you for the replies . ( i managed to save £40 on my new 400d just by waiting a day : ) i was wondering where most people here buy their camera equipment . being fairly new , i have only heard of jessops and a couple of other stores but i ' d be very interest to learn of other good ( and inexpensive ) shops or wesbites .
i am a manager of a small branch of jessops , and my little store is ( was , or may continue to be , who knows ? ) doing a roaring trade . there ' s been lots of talk on the news about where jessops went wrong . but in my opinion it did not put a foot wrong . the new team that took over back in 2009 did all it could to embrace the new consumer habits , with a real push on the buy on line then collect at store process . jessops never made money on hardware , and always treated cameras as loss leaders in order to get the customer in the shop so we could sell the margin rich products like memory cards , bags and the like . there was a huge emphasis on the photo printing side of the business , with large format in store printing now widely available , very cheap and of superb quality . my store does well because we were very ' local ' , and as manager i was able to aknowledge that the customer could by cheaper on line , while gently reminding them that a comprehensive aftercare was worth paying that little bit extra for .
ahead of the refinancing , a hundred stores were closed , leaving the chain with 210 outlets , which moore said was a good number for the time being . he added that the difficulties faced by shopping centre owners , who have seen numerous tenants go bust during the recession , meant that jessops was being offered better deals on its rents , which in turn could lead to more new stores being opened .
the chain has struggled with financial problems for years , but it looks like jessops has finally succumbed to competition from online retailers . it isn’t the only uk company that has been hit hard recently either : electrical retailer comet also entered administration in november and shut down its stores just before christmas . more recently , urltoken announced that it would be shutting down its sales unit following the closure of a tax loophole .
jessops plc will likely continue to be listed and shares trade , as a ' shell ' company with no tangibles . all tangibles will go to newco . not sure if jessops name will go too , in which case the listed shell will have to change name . depending on the cost of a lse listing , it has some value - it may cost £2m to bring a company to market , making this a good buy for someone about to list . there will also likely be considerable carried forward tax losses , available to anyone reversing into the shell . i can only assume tody ' s buyer is the company looking to list , or those who know the value of the tax losses and lising costs . i ' m not sure but the share price implies it could be worth £2m + to a company looking to float .
this would suit jessops down to the ground , after the recent take overs they have done . . . good excuse to close a lot of the
extra
highstreet stores . god in glasgow they got 3 stores on the one street never mind the one town , all within a few mins walk . i think they got about 7 in glasgow alone . only a matter of time before they cull the numbers .

swales and bioretention areas , most landscaped with bands of colorful but tough garden stalwarts , soften the parking areas . although malls will never be prime wildlife habitat , in fall 2011 the broad swale above rang with calls of migrant redwing blackbirds , like the one at the top of the tree . below , two years later , in fall 2013 , plants had grown in densely . the cobbled drain from the parking lot is all but hidden .
below : while most of the bioretention areas are colorful , some have a cooler palette , even a combination of redwoods , grass , and rushes . click to enlarge images .
above : construction in 2011 shows typical plumbing , including irrigation pipes , drains from paved areas , and raised drain boxes that take high flows to storm drains , so that the sunken bioretention areas do not overflow .
below : finished area in 2013 : plantings require maintenance , and litter from pedestrians and stores’ temporary signs can collect .

the physics were simple , but the technology was messy . i came into schawlow’s office and said : “i remember you talked about ruby at shawanga lodge . it would be so nice if we could use a technologically simple substance like that . ” i had a chunk of ruby i had obtained from bill rose . i had shone a mercury lamp onto it and it had fluoresced beautifully . i was getting depressed with cesium and it was of paramount importance to me to get a material that was easy to work on . we were spending allour time with technical preparations and i was concerned that we would never get a degree . schawlow convinced me that we couldn’t get enough optical power into the ruby to depopulate the ground state .
he went to china lake , for example , where he knew the bennett’s , and to fort belvoir . it was a reasonable way to spend a year abroad . he’d talk about the optical maser while we were back at the bench , working . in the spring of 1960 , he was out talking . the picture he gave was that we were about to make it work ; he was optimistic and we were optimistic . he spoke in this vein at the rochester conference on coherence , june 1960 . ( 1 was not there ; i believe cummins went . ) as i understand it from talking to others , heavens reported that we were on the verge of a laser . malcolm stitch then telephoned his management and told them the columbia group was about to publish , and hughes then announced the maiman laser .
no one was at crl at the time . townes was away . we had a public address system and the announcement came over it that there was a call for townes . i took it and it was walter sullivan of the new york times . he had just attended the hughes press conference on the optical maser . sullivan often called townes to get elucidations of new physics . i told sullivan : “it can’t work in ruby . ” sullivan said : “they used a flash lamp . ” we had never considered anything but continuous - wave pumping . i had to concede a pulsed system might work .
cummins and i conferred on how to reconcile maiman’s result with what we were doing . we reasoned that we could be the first with the continuous - wave laser . cummins didn’t throw in the towel until javan’s hene laser . ( at columbia , we called them optical masers until townes secured his nobel prize in 1964 . ) my paper on thermal tuning of the ruby maser was a fluke . i had expected sharp spectral lines but they were all over the map . the thermal tuning paper made the cover of the journal of applied physics and i got numerous invitations to speak , at wescon and other events .
i spent fall 1962 working on my thesis . novick brought me into his office to talk about the echo experiment . sven hartmann was brought in 3 days later . novick hired me as his postdoc to work on the echo experiment . i collaborated with hartmann , but i was not paid by him , nor responsible to him . i think i should have shared the osa prize with hartmann . he brought in interesting knowledge from resonance physics to the research , but he didn’t know about ruby and lasers ; that was a contribution i made . in this period , i made all my lasers myself . raytheon , trion and others were selling some early commercial varieties , but this didn’t affect me at this time .
i used my original ruby laser in the cesium 2 - photon experiment . the cesium cell experiment also stood me in good stead ; for example , i became a skilled glass blower . the laser used with the photon echo experiment was also home built by norm kurnit and me .
postscript : i can tell you need more about the photon echo experiment and its origins . there was not enough time to do so at the initial interview .

after a few years in the osc basement on 12th and flower street in los angeles , under the direction of sachio kano and seigo hayashi , in 1975 osc officially became asian rehabilitation service , inc . ( ars ) and established itself as a nonprofit organization with the state of california .
the original osc provided job services so individuals with special needs could enhance their lives with meaningful work and pride in becoming selfsufficient . additionally , the organization addressed the stigma placed on individuals with disabilities within the asian communities .
osc forcefully confronted the cultural and traditional attitudes displayed by both the disabled individual’s families and the greater asian communities .
in 1975 , osc officially became asian rehabilitation service , inc . ( ars ) and established itself as a nonprofit organization with the state of california .
in 1998 , ars initiated its very first supported employment program ( sep ) enclave with jordana cosmetics , inc . the success of this enclave quickly led to another with milani cosmetics , an affiliate of jordana .
ars clients continue to receive high marks for their work performance and today we have jordana , milani and a few other enclaves , depending on the number of clients training at the u . s . courthouse under the nish program . ars looks forward to expanding our sep programs in the future .
ars works with several regional centers in southern california . ( there are 21 regional centers in the state of california . ) these agencies provide assistance and services to clients who are developmentally challenged and their families . in addition to persons with mental retardation , the regional centers are now mandated to serve persons with cerebral palsy , epilepsy , autism , conditions similar to mental retardation , or conditions that require treatment similar to the treatment required for individuals with mental retardation .
