Finance Manager

Jacky helps manage all aspects of accounting and finance, alongside Howard, a job which he loves due to the diverse responsibilities this involves. When he’s not at work, Jacky enjoys trading in the stock market and investing in cryptocurrencies.

Production Technician

Toby plays a vital role in our mounting department, a position he genuinely enjoys. You might already know Toby, as he returned after a brief hiatus, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back!

Describing his work as a daily adventure, Toby embraces each day with enthusiasm, relishing fresh challenges and ongoing opportunities for learning (even with several years of experience). He holds those closest to him in high regard—his cherished relationships are even more significant to him than his love for Tottenham, where he holds a season ticket.

Senior Mounting Technician

Stacy’s favourite part of his job is seeing all the final elements come together, and he loves the fact that the work we produce for clients is so varied. His family, his motorbike and his credit card are his most prized things in life. He’s a bit of a twitcher (the birdwatching type) and loves exploring the world with his family at his side.

Production Technician

You might recognise James as he was a part of the team a few years ago. After a short while away, we’re glad to have him back! James assists in the mounting and framing departments, and he says he’s proud to be back working with “the best in the business”. He cites his most prized possessions as his imagination and his camera – both of which come in handy when he’s not at Genesis as he works as a freelance graphic designer and photographer.

Senior Framer

David has been picture framing for over thirty years, originally specialising in fine art and restoration, working across all medium. His interest in photography dates even further back, having for many years his own home B&W darkroom before taking a break from framing to study for a BA in Editorial Photography, full time at the University of Brighton. Returning to framing after a couple of years working as a college photography technician, he has since specialised in the presentation of photographic works. He has been working at Metro for more than 10 years, helping develop the framing department from its conception.

Scanner Operator
I had a interest in photography from a young age, and went on to study it at college. I worked at Colorama and Jessops for a few years, and saw a opening at Metro and went for it, that was ten years ago, and I’ve been here ever since.
I’m grateful to be part of a vibrant and ever evolving company.
I still enjoy photography in my spare time, I also like to take long rides on my motorbike and the occasional..very occasional…visit to the gym.

Framing Manager

As our Framing Manager, Tat – or TC as he’s known to us – plays an instrumental part in getting clients work finished for gallery exhibitions. When he’s not at Genesis, you can find TC at home with his family; he’s a very proud husband and dad. He says that his wedding ring holds the most value to him and he most admires people that put their families first.

Print Technician

In 2023, Olivia joined our bustling print department. As a passionate photographer, Olivia finds immense inspiration in the journey from digital files to tangible print. She cites her most-prized possessions as her grandmother’s portfolio, her vinyl collection – and perhaps unsurprisingly – her camera. Beyond her work hours, you’ll frequently discover Olivia immersed in the studio, shooting, editing her shots, or indulging in some well-deserved rest.

Senior Print Technician

Deep works on our direct to media printing and also supports the finishing department. His main area of interest is experimenting with different substrates and finding new ways to achieve client’s visions.

“Every day is different and I am really pleased to be able to work with a huge range of great artists and photographers” he says.
