Ilford - has gone into administration. The Cheshire manufacturer might have to close altogether. Another example of British business falling behind the times? Or are we all making a terrible mistake moving to digital cameras?
A a user of Ilford's Studio inkjet system, I was phoned by the company this morning to tell me about the Receivership and to reassure me that it was business as usual.
Ilford's. inkjet paper is widely regarded as among the best around - hardly a case of falling behind the times.
The volumes that they would need to survive, that is another matter but all credit to them for developing such an outstanding digital product.
The interest shown on their stand at Focus, this year, is testament to their developing success.
I really hope that at least a part of such a great British photographic company survives.
