The company had also refused to reveal its latest profit\/loss figure, meaning we had to find out ourselves through records held at Companies House.]<\/em><br \/>\n    <\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, it was <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-news\/538765\/canon-jessops-10m-investment-story-speculation\">reported<\/a> that Canon had reached a \u00a310m agreement to \u2018prop up&#8217; Jessops, and that <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-news\/538775\/wall-of-silence-greets-jessops-sale-talk\">HSBC<\/a> was in talks over the future of the business.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It&#8217;s rubbish,&#8217; said executive chairman Martyn Everett who will assume a hands-on role at Jessops after <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-news\/538918\/jessops-chief-trevor-moore-resigns-update\">CEO Trevor Moore<\/a> announced his departure yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>Everett has stepped in as Jessops executive chairman from the non-executive position he has held since joining the firm in March.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with <em>Amateur Photographer <\/em>(AP), he said: \u2018To be straight, HSBC [which is also Jessops&#8217; bank] are clearly not long-term holders of camera retail &#8211; it&#8217;s not their core business, but there&#8217;s no immediate plans for them to exit that position.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Everett pledged to maintain a \u2018large&#8217; network of shops but to continue to shut stores that do not meet profit targets.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that Jessops is not in the throes of a \u2018gradual closure&#8217; programme, but investing in stores such as the flagship branch in New Oxford Street which, he said, cost a fortune to refurbish.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It&#8217;s a question of making sure we are in the right high-street location and we put our resources behind successful, profitable stores.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We opened Hounslow this year and we are going to be opening a new, large, flagship store in Bristol shortly.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\n    <strong>Departure of CEO <\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Everett heaped praise on Trevor Moore who will <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-news\/538918\/jessops-chief-trevor-moore-resigns-update\">leave the company<\/a> at the end of this month after three years as CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Everett said he does not plan to hire anyone else to fill the CEO position.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why Moore decided to leave, Everett said: \u2018I can&#8217;t really tell you much. Trevor has an exciting opportunity that he&#8217;s going to&#8230; but it&#8217;s not something he or Jessops are in a position to talk about for another 2-3 weeks.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Everett wanted to make clear that Moore \u2018wasn&#8217;t pushed&#8217; and will leave with Jessops&#8217; \u2018goodwill&#8217; at the end of July.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested, however, that his departure came as a blow.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I would have preferred to have kept him but clearly life goes on&#8230; and we need to accept that,&#8217; he told AP. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018But, he&#8217;s left a good team behind so, while he&#8217;ll be missed, I&#8217;m still confident that we can take the business forward&#8230;&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Paying tribute to Moore, he added: \u2018One of the things Trevor has done over the past few years is build a very strong [management] team around him&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have only been in the business for four months but I have to say I share his passion&#8230; I think it&#8217;s a fantastic business.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n    <strong>Future plans <\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s the future for Jessops at a time of double-dip recession &#8211; with photographers still reeling from shock at the demise of rival chain Jacobs? Jessops most recent accounts show that the company made a <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-news\/538845\/camera-chain-jessops-reports-0-9m-loss\">\u00a30.9m loss <\/a>after tax. <\/p>\n<p>Everett said he cannot comment on whether he expects Jessops to break into profit next year. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018We tend to focus on EBITDA because, at the end of the day, the bank are our majority shareholders as well as our debt providers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>EBITDA measures a company&#8217;s earnings before factors such as tax, interest and depreciation &#8211; a clearer indicator, to investors, of a company&#8217;s core profitability.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018EBITDA was up to 5.7m last year which is a big increase on the year before.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Though the market remains \u2018tough&#8217;, Everett is positive about the future. \u2018We have done a fantastic job of growing market share and top-line growth and we want to be more focused. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018We want to continue to grow the business, but in a way where we can become more profitable and cash generative.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But how does Jessops deter potential customers from coming in for camera-buying advice, only to walk out the door and order from an online competitor?<\/p>\n<p>Everett replied: \u2018By having a talented, quality sales team&#8230; At the end of the day you can&#8217;t stop people doing that [ordering online], but if [customers] go into a store they need well-trained staff who are there to help with their purchase &#8211; then there is a certain loyalty and likelihood they will want to proceed with the transaction before they leave.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u2018We are constantly looking at online prices &#8211; we don&#8217;t just sit in a bubble. We are aware of what our competitors charge, and keen to make sure we are product competitive.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Martyn Everett joined Jessops as non-executive chairman in March, from a director&#8217;s role at media rights group Chorion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In AP&#8217;s last interview with Jessops, published in July 2012, its new boss dismissed as \u2018rubbish\u2019 talk that the retailer had struck a deal with Canon and that its majority shareholder, HSBC, was poised to sell its share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":324,"featured_media":12488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-12487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
