Previously operating as albelli-Photobox Group, the conglomerate behind the well-known brands Photobox UK and Bonusprint, has transitioned to Storio group, marking a significant evolution in the personalised photo product domain in Europe. Boasting an impressive revenue stream of over EUR 340M and a satisfied clientele of more than 11 million, this rebranding initiative is coupled with a pivotal executive change, with Alessandro Coppo assuming the CEO role from Tristan Money on February 8th, 2024.

Our commitment to innovation and personal connection is unique, and I look forward to building on the strong foundation laid by Tristan and the team. Our new brand identity and values will be central to our commitment to customers and employees.”
