From the administrators' statement
Johnsons Photopia Ltd operated as an independent company that could trace its roots back to 1743. The Company provided leading edge technology solutions for consumer electronics with a primary focus on imaging related products.
The company was split into two separate divisions trading as JP Distribution and JP Services. Both divisions traded from facilities in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The goal for both divisions was to provide a value added offering to all customers with excellent service levels.
In recent years the company, having previously focused almost solely on photographic equipment, diversified its service division to cover a wider range of CE products including SatNav, video cameras, tablets, medical equipment etc.
