Who are Barrett & Coe?

With the National Franchise Exhibition just around the corner, you might be considering taking on a franchise of your own.

Barrett & Coe is the UK’s leading brand for wedding and portrait photography with studios situated all across the country. With a name that is rich in history, we are always on the look out for new photographers to work to work with.

Whether you have years of photography experience, or whether you’ve never taken a photograph in your life, we would love to hear from you.

In our experience, we have often found people surprise themselves in what they are able to achieve in a very short time. Our current franchisees include a former dental nurse, paramedic, accountant, IT manager and property developer – a very diverse mix! Many franchisees are also parents with young families.

We provide a comprehensive and effective support and development programme, which takes a new starter at initial induction through to an established and successful franchisee. This includes an intensive induction programme, marketing planning, national franchise days and much more.

Our aim is to be the best-supported franchise network in the UK. We help franchisees every step of the way and are on-hand to give the skills, support and encouragement to get businesses off the ground and beyond.
