The imagex story

imagex was born after the demise of Jessops * in 2013, taking over their store in Sheep Street, Bicester, which had been a camera store for almost 20 years. The first imagex branch opened on 1st March 2013, moving to our current, much larger store on Bure Place in Pioneer Square in the centre of Bicester in September 2019 and we are now Oxfordshire's largest full-service photographic retailer. We specialise in all aspects of photographic printing & reproduction. This includes digital and canvas printing, scanning and film processing all from our Bicester Town Centre store. We specialise in photo image repair and restoration services for older photographs. Other Services we provide include: - Government guaranteed ID, passport & visa photos for all countries - Cine & video transfer to digital media (DVD, USB or digital download) - Camera & photo equipment repairs - Tripods, bags & cases - Photographic accessories (including batteries, memory cards & film) - Personalised photo gifts - Self-service Kodak Photo Kiosks. On April 2021, we opened our second floor, custom-built photographic & video studio and event space, with 1000sq.ft of versatile working area used for photo shoots, video recordings, business presentations, training courses and our Santa’s Photo Grotto & Christmas-themed photo studio every December ! In 2020, imagex won the Cherwell Business Awards Retail Business Award accolade. During the Pandemic of 2020-22 imagex survived and thrived by moving sales significantly online, remaining open for local customers due to offering a range of 'essential services' like document printing and ID/Passport/Visa photography. In February 2022, we hosted our first Vintage Camera Fair, which are now held every three months. During 2022, imagex were once again finalists in the Cherwell Business Awards for the Small Business of the Year title. On 1st March 2023, imagex celebrated their 10th birthday ! * not to be confused with the current, much small company known as Jessops, owned by Peter Jones of Dragon's Den fame
