GGS in Africa

The exhibition stands we work on aren't just for events in the UK. A large number of them are in Europe; and Duncan Smith, Director in charge of the Exhibitions side of the business is currently overseeing the setting up of an exhibition stand we've been working on for a Cambridge based client at the North Africa Com telecomms exhibition in Cairo. http://nafrica.comworldseries.com/exhibition

Next month he's off to Cape Town for Africa Com, the leading pan-African communications event. http://africa.comworldseries.com/exhibition where he will be doing the same.

He'd better bring us back a nice present. I brought him back a crab when I did a photographic job in Cromer...

Quality pics of a quality product

Never being ones to turn down the opportunity to try a little tipple, we were pleased to receive a call from Mellasat Wines in Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk to undertake their photography. They specialise in wines from South Africa and we turned out some vintage quality (groan! - Ed.) pictures to match their superb wines – (they haven't asked for the bottles back yet. Probably just as well, hic!...)

Giving Inspiration to Students

Once again, Peter Griffin ABIPP, one of the GGS directors was invited to speak at the Creative Industries Student Convention about careers in photography.

Along with other speakers from across the spectrum of creative industries, including journalism, PR, music, radio and TV, Peter gave High School and College students from across the County an insight to the world of commercial photography. Emphasising the importance of top quality images in helping to drive British businesses forward and become more successful, Peter also showed examples of the difference good lighting makes to increasing the desirability of products.


The event was held at ‘Open’ and organised by ‘Shaping Norfolk’s Future’

Flipping book!

The CNS Main School and Sixth Form prospectuses are now on-line at the school's web site. http://www.cns-school.org/prospectus

Concept, design, artwork, photography and print management all done in-house; and printed beautifully by Breckland Print in Attleborough. Easy for the school and simpler for us. You can't beat a one-stop-shop.

I love the way these 'flipping book' things work, too...

50pc increase in photography

Here's a cutting from Thurday's EDP. Nuff said...

Born out of passion, thriving on creativity (and cake!)

In 1975 GGS Photography was formed, operating from small premises in Pottergate, Norwich. Today we celebrate 35 years in business! The name has shrunk a bit - now simply GGS - but the company has grown. Larger premises, more staff and a larger range of services. As well as Commercial Photography we provide Exhibition and Display solutions from banner stands and pop-ups to full set builds in the UK and abroad, large format digital printing, graphic design and web design.
Today we celebrated with champagne and, of course, a cake!
With candles!
Founding partner Alan Griffee and his wife, Beulah, joined the merry throng for a toast at GGS HQ on Hall Road.

(In case you are wondering; GGS came from the initials of the surnames of the Partners - Peter Griffin, Alan Griffee and Bill Skipper. There's only a Griffin left now,but there is a Ball and a Smith instead. GBS? Didn't seem much point. If it ain't broke etc...

New website for Panel Graphic...

A good few years ago we designed and developed a website for Panel Graphic that remained live for longer than anyone expected it would. The client was very much aware that change needed to happen, but their growing business activity prevented any possibility of setting aside some 'focus time'.

Eventually however an opportunity arose for us all to get together and formulate a fresh new website solution to reflect Panel Graphic's latest generation of products and services - and their forward-thinking approach to their craft.

This new website is now live for all to see at www.panelgraphic.co.uk.

The client knows that we are just a phone call away - for on-going support whenever its needed. And it was this reassurance, together with our approach to billing clarity, that was the key factor in their decision to remain with us now - and into the future.
