We are taking the situation with regards to COVID-19 extremely seriously; the safety and wellbeing of our staff, customers and supply chain partners is of paramount importance to us.


We are working very hard to maintain, as far as possible, appropriate product supply and support to our customers.


We are following the relevant Government guidelines. Where possible, our staff are working from home and for those that have to work onsite, we have employed social distancing practices and enhanced cleaning procedures, in line with the recommended advice and procedures.


We have also initiated a “No Visitor” policy to our Office and Production facilities.

Sales - sales@photek.co.uk


Finance - finance@photek.co.uk


Purchasing - purchasing@photek.co.uk


Thank you for your assistance and understanding at this challenging time.
