Workhouse MD Mark Jones commented, “Today is an historic day for the business, we have been in business for 17 years, but the opening of the new photography studio takes us to a new level. Our aim is to build a one stop shop here in the Ribble Valley, a centre of creative excellence which can service all the marketing needs of businesses in Lancashire and beyond. In difficult times the new studio is giving the business great impetus, we are an ambitious business, we want to push forward and continue producing great creative work. We intend to tap into the burgeoning ‘video for web’, home-shopping and homes and gardens markets and to bring ourselves to the attention of clients who may not realise we are as substantial as we are.

It also gives us ‘ genuine competitive advantage’. All businesses must differentiate themselves from their competitors and that is exactly what we have done. How many other agencies have their own large photo studio on-site? And when was the last time you heard of anyone building a brand new studio from the ground up?  We’ve done it professionally, we feel it’s a major achievement and Workhouse now offers a unique mix of marketing services in one unique location. No matter what product or service you are trying to market, Workhouse will help you determine the right strategy, deliver creative ideas, produce quality designs, shoot the images, and produce the artwork for all off-line and on-line use – all from one location.

“The photography studio, which is large enough to build several room sets at any one time and has underfloor heating and changing rooms, is available to hire by all creative professionals in the region. We will certainly be more competitive than the Manchester studios and give creative businesses in Lancashire genuine cost savings at a time when they need them.” said Mr Jones.
