People often want to know a little more about who is behind Taopix photobook software.
Taopix Limited manufactures and sells the world's leading photobook and photo gift software platform.
The company was founded in 2007 in the UK by James Gray, our CEO, and Kevin Gale, our CTO. From the beginning, the Taopix platform was designed to fulfil a gap in the market. We listened to businesses who either wanted to or were already selling photobooks.Businesses who said they needed a software platform which gave them full flexibility and control.
So, Taopix was born!
'From day one, we've focused on delivering a world class photobook and photo gift platform. That’s an ethos that we carry through into our product today. This has led to Taopix becoming the platform of choice within the personalised photo products markets.'
James Gray, CEO & Co-Founder, Taopix
Taopix HQ is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, near the airport, which is handy for our visitors!
And it's where a lot of the magic happens! We come up with the creative ideas, develop and test our products. It's also where we keep our in-house Development, QA and Support teams, plus our Operations, Finance and Marketing departments.
Taopix HQ is a fun and friendly environment to work in - as visitors discover for themselves!
'There's a serious side to maintaining our world leading position, we're professionals who work hard and support each other, but we like to have fun too! We work hard, play hard!'
Zoe Hartill, Marketing Communications Manager, Taopix
