Independent Photographic Supplies Pty Ltd was established by Stuart Holmes and Rob Voysey in August 2003 with the aim of providing a range of quality photographic consumables to photolab operators and offers an unbeatable combination of:
• Superior Quality products,
• Better levels of Service than previously experienced, &
• Significant Cost Reductions, better value proposition.
With more than 250 years of industry experience in both Australian and overseas markets, we feel we can assist photolab operators to contain their consumables costs and remain profitable in a marketplace that is presenting increasing cost pressures.
Trading as iPhoto (www. iphoto.net.au), the business is based in Sydney, Australia but has a distribution network that can reach labs throughout the country. We can offer not only superior quality products but top-quality technical sales backup and support for the full range of products we distribute, exceeding competitors' offerings in Quality, Service and Price.
The Founding Principals of the Company
Stuart Holmes – Managing Director
40+ years in the Australian Photographic Industry; Technical Sales, Marketing and Category Management experience with Kodak, Agfa and Hanimex (Fuji) as well as International Professional Lab Management, Minilab Owner/ Operator, and Professional Photographer by Trade (Member AIPP)
Rob Voysey – ‘Former’ Sales & Technical Director
35+ years in International Photo Industry Skills in Lab Engineering & Professional Sales. Rob recently took early retirement from iPhoto, he will be missed by all of those whom worked with him.
We are committed to independence - and support of
independent photo retailers. Our founding principles are best explained by
the following definitions of 'independent' from the Webster's Revised
Unabridged Dictionary of 1996.
\In`de*pend"ent\, a. [Pref. in- not + dependent: cf. F.
ind['e]pendant.]
1. Not dependent; free; not
subject to control by others; not relying on others; not subordinate; as,
few men are wholly independent.
2. Affording a comfortable livelihood; as, an independent property.
3. Not subject to bias or influence; not obsequious; self-directing; as, a
man of an independent mind.
4. Expressing or indicating the feeling of independence; free; easy; bold;
unconstrained; as, an independent air or manner.
5. Separate from; exclusive; irrespective.
We are not aligned with any major consumables supplier and operate entirely
as a stand-alone, Australian business that is dedicated to providing the
best products at the best prices and with the best service support.
Personalised service is the watchword for this business. Lab owners and
operators who become our customers can be confident of dealing with a
supplier who understands their needs and is aware of the technical and
quality issues involved in premium quality photofinishing.
