Neil ThompsonFull Circle Manufacturing Ltd, jointly owned by Matthew and Paul Humphreys, is excited to announce the acquisition of the leading UK manufacturer of selfie pods, Photo Media Booth, previously owned by Jamie Mannan via Viper Events Ltd.
Matthew Humphreys, with over 30 years in engineering and manufacturing, alongside Paul Humphreys, with over 20 years in Sales and Marketing, currently run three successful photobooth hire brands, including Imprint.Events, Deluxe Booths, and The All Day Booth Company. Matthew is also the owner of Bak-Rak Ltd, a niche automotive accessories manufacturer. Adding Photo Media Booth to their portfolio seemed a perfect opportunity to blend boothing and manufacturing. The name Full Circle Manufacturing was chosen as Manufacturing was where Matthew started his career over 30 years ago.
Photo Media Booth holds 16 registered designs and is renowned for its UK manufactured products. Post-acquisition, the company will relocate to the Midlands (just off M42 Junction 11), where a new showroom will open before the end of April, offering potential customers the opportunity to experience products firsthand. They will also be able to see where the products are assembled and tested before being dispatched to the customers.
Photo Media Booth designs and manufactures all its products in the UK, including the flight cases. Unlike others, they do not import products from China for re-packaging.
Full Circle Manufacturing Ltd aims to further develop the acquired company's product range and increase the awareness of its UK design and manufacture ethos. Matthew adds “We will continue work towards Jamie’s goal of increasing our presence in the events and hospitality sector as well as continuing to offer great value and service to your customers in the photobooth industry.” Photo Media Booth is already booked to exhibit at several trade shows this year.
"We are excited about taking custody of Photo Media Booth. Emphasis will be on developing and showcasing UK-designed and built products, stressing the benefits of purchasing British products known for their reliability and robustness. We are also delighted about Jamie's continued support and help as we take Photo Media Booth on the next step of its journey."

Jamie will stay involved for the next 6 months, overseeing a smooth transition. Matthew and Paul plan to maintain relationships with existing suppliers, introduce new products, grow their spare stock to support existing customers, and even offer demonstrations and training sessions from their Midland base. This is something that Jamie was unable to offer and feels that this will be a very positive move for the growth of the business.
