New Nottingham shop aiming to be 'home of creatives' after 'string of closures'

A new Nottingham shop is aiming to be the 'home of creatives' in the city after a 'string of closures'. Wex Photo Video will open its newest branch on Carrington Street, Nottingham city centre on June 23.

The new shop would be its 14th store in the UK, according to the brand's website. Amie Marshall, who is manager of the new store, said: "After a string of store closures within recent years in Nottingham, I can imagine the news of new stores opening within the city would excite the community.

"Here at Wex, we strive to support photographers and filmmakers at every part of their journey. Our incredibly talented and committed staff have earned us the title of UK’s most trusted retailer, and we think that the creatives of Nottingham will definitely find a home in our new store."

Established in 1997, Wex Photo Video (previously called Wex Photographic and Warehouse Express) says it has helped more than a million photographers and videographers achieve their goals. It also claims to have the largest range of any UK photo and video retailer, with more than 20,000 products.

An opening day event, featuring leading photographers Daniel Etter and Tom Oldham, is planned. Carrington Street has significantly altered over the last few years, most notably with the demolition of the Broadmarsh shopping centre and the construction of the Broadmarsh bus station and library at the end of the street.

A boutique gym was recently set up as well as a new cake shop, adding to the independent businesses and better known brands along the street. At the other end of Carrington Street, near to Nottingham train station, the nine-storey Unity Square tower was opened last year, bringing with it thousands of Government employees.
