A PICTURE PERFECT MOVE!

02/05/08

When James Nelson, owner of The Picture Company in Charles Square, was considering his next move it was local shoppers that made his mind up for him.

The Picture Company had a short-term lease over the Christmas period and when it was due for renewal, James was overwhelmed by the customer response that he decided to extend his lease and relocate to larger premises, remaining in Charles Square.

James comments: “As a business we did very well over Christmas. However, it wasn’t until customers asked us not to leave that I realised there was a real opportunity in Bracknell to grow my business.”

Stocking a wide range of beautiful and popular art, printed on high quality canvas, The Picture Company offers a cost effective and efficient printing service. It also produces vibrant quality canvases of everyday photographs.

“I am a local resident, so it’s always nice to support your town centre, and Bracknell has a great family demographic that is perfect for our products. When we first opened we only sold pre-prepared pictures, but we soon discovered that people wanted their own pictures printed on canvas and this swiftly took over. Now my business is almost exclusively putting my customers in the picture!”

Rob Morris, Retail Manager, Bracknell Regeneration Partnership: “We are delighted to have the continued support of The Picture Company. It is a real asset to the town centre and we are pleased that retailers see enough success to continue to invest in Bracknell.

We are always seeking new retailers as part of the regeneration and this further commitment from our existing partners will help to build a successful town centre.”

The Picture Company is now situated at 21 Charles Square, Bracknell.
