Annual Sale Preview

Our Annual Sale is fast approaching, so we have done a special podcast about it! This is the first Podcast that features other staff members from the store, so we have host and store manager Brian og, joined by fellow staff members Pearse and Dean. Not only that, we have the store owner, Brian Whelan who is the one in charge of running the sale every year.

In this episode, we talk about how our Annual Sale originally started, how it has changed over the years and why it’s not worth your while waiting until Black Friday if you really want a genuine bargain!

Annual Sale starts Saturday 9th November at 10am.

Welcome to Episode 7. This episode is a little bit different as it was recorded on location at the IPPVA National Conference in the Hodson Bay Hotel. This event had six presentations by different people.

As we are a sponsor of the IPPVA, we were invited to do one of the presentations so our Store Manager and host of this podcast, Brian Whelan, was one of the speakers. He managed to get an interview with each of the speakers after their presentation so this episode consists of the interviews with all of them.

The list of speakers were: 

Rashida Keenan (IPPVA Photographer of the Year) https://www.rashidakeenanphotography.com/

He also tells us about his many roles within the company before eventually becoming the owner.
