Testimonials

Moving from the SWPP to the NPS was the best thing I did for my business in 2011.

I've found the support, advice and Licentiate process much more user friendly, and with over a Terabyte of my photos backed up online with the NPS, you can't argue the value for money!

Thanks NPS!!

Just wanted to thank you for your help in moving my website to your server and in doing so, saving me over £400! Not knowing anything much about the technical side, and my hosting company baffling me with web talk, I felt stuck with this company and the fees. However, remembering reading something about free web hosting when I joined the NPS, I called Rod and within a few days, had my website moved to the NPS server and now pay nothing for hosting.

The NPS dealt with my previous supplier on my behalf, moved my website to their server without any downtime, all at no cost to me.
Excellent service and well worth the membership fee. I will be highly recommending the NPS to other professional photographers.

Best wishes

As a long standing member of other photographic organisations it was refreshing to find The NPS which has a different approach and has many benefits for members that are not available elsewhere. I believe that as the organisation grows it will become a very strong voice for both professionals and amateurs alike offering help, advice and financial savings for all it's members.

Hi,
Just a quick note to thank you for your support in a recent query I had, I must say very professional and a pleasure to deal with mainly thanks to Rod....
I have just cancelled my SWPP membership and am glad to be on board, I will complete my profiles etc asap and look forward to a good working relationship with the NPS.
Cheers

As the NPS grows so does the lists of opportunities...
Aside from my membership paying for itself within months of joining, it now feels almost fraudulent to go on benefiting...
I am overwhelmed by the quality of support available to me through this society, the free inclusive and unlimited web hosting to members, the networking with top class photographers, the training and qualification facilities and the (soon to be) inclusive members insurance... These are just a few of the obvious advantages...

It's wonderful in this day and age to be a member of a society which takes such a refreshing approach to it's members.

Thank you guys...
