The Amelia Rose story continues….

The amazing story of Amelia Rose Floral Couture continues……

So this billboard in Chadderton shows where they’re at. I doubt I’ve ever had one of my photographs reproduced so big and it’s great to be part of this amazing story.

A Brazen award….

Great news yesterday as my client Brazen PR’s bold wedding stunt for their cleaning client Dr Beckmann ‘wiped the floor’ with the competition and won the Best Stunt Award at the PRCA Dare Awards.

Great to be a part of the campaign shooting the stills on the ‘wedding’ day….

Well done to everybody at Brazen and Dr Beckmann!

FCHO Porch-traits…..

Well this recent job I did for First Choice Homes Oldham certainly went down well in Manchester and the north west.

I went to see some of their tenants over two days during lockdown and what an amazing bunch of people.

The Manchester Evening News used every picture. See their article here.

 

But most of all I love this short slideshow the team at First Choice Homes put together…..

 

Sacha Lord….

Last week I was asked to meet and photograph Sacha Lord in Manchester City Centre.

He is the Night Time Economy Adviser and co creator of the Parklife Festival and The Warehouse Project.

Oldham Community Leisure finally open their doors again….

Revolution Breakfast co-hosts Elliot and Di were on hand to welcome fitness fanatics of all ages back to Oldham Leisure Centre on Saturday.

After weeks of meticulous preparation Oldham Community Leisure (OCL) staff finally swung open their doors again across the borough thanks to the continuing easing of Government lockdown measures.

Gyms and pools across the country finally welcomed back customers following their enforced exile, and at the Oldham Leisure Centre it was smiles and relief all round.

Bury Market reopens….

BURY Market reopened last week for the first time since the coronavirus lockdown was announced.

Shoppers came to find a social-distance system in place to keep them safe so they could snap up bargains from the 300 plus market stalls.

The vast majority of stalls had been forced to close since March so there was an air of relief amongst the traders and shoppers.

Plans are being made to safely reopen cafes, hairdressers and nail bars in the near future – probably on 4th July.

A number of measures have been put in place to protect traders and shoppers, in line with Government Covid-19 guidance. These include social distancing signage, floor markings and a one-way system on the parades.

There is also a limited entry to the Market Hall and Fish and Meat Hall.

To help Bury Market return to normal the council has been providing traders with a range of support measures ­— including a £1.7 million financial package.

All traders were given a two-month rent holiday from March 16 to May 16 at a cost of £400,600 to the council.

To ensure further protection, two further rent holiday have been granted, costing an additional £318,850.
