New specialist Wex Photo Video shop set to open in Nottingham city centre

A new specialist photography and videography shop is set to open in Nottingham.

Wex Photo Video has announced it will open a branch in Nottingham city centre on Carrington Street with a grand opening on Friday June 23.

Louis Wahl, chief executive at Wex Photo Video, said:“As we open the doors to our new store, we’re excited to help new and existing customers in Nottingham with the support and equipment to bring their visions to life.”

The new branch will be the business’ 14th location in the UK and will offer a broad range of equipment and services, staffed by a team of industry experts.

Leading brands will include Canon, Nikon and Sony and equipment repair, sensor cleaning and trade-in services will be available.

To mark the opening celebrations, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and film-maker Daniel Etter will give a talk in the new store’s event space on his work in press and photojournalism, focusing on human rights and experiences in conflict zones.

Mr Wahl added: “By continuing to invest in the high street, our ambition is that our physical presence will inspire and empower photographers and videographers of all levels.”

It is the latest company to open on Carrington Street, which has seen a resurgence of independent businesses since the demolition of the Broadmarsh shopping centre and includes the Unity Square tower, which is home to HMRC.

The new shop will be open seven days a week, between 9am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday (except Wednesdays, which open at 10am) and between 10am and 4pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
