Almost like “Andy Beck Images On Tour”
2020 was a very difficult year for us business-wise. All shows, talks and events were cancelled and small companies like mine were not covered by any government assistance net. No furlough or grants for us, we just had to live with it. There were many others in the same boat. Fortunately we stayed fit and healthy, others were not so lucky.
Instead of “crying into my beer” I used that time as best as I could. I re-developed the website, produced work and made plans. We are looking to focus on the future, not the past. For the summer of 2021 we plan to get out and about as much as we can, especially on the outdoor show circuit. We have invested a lot of time, effort (and money) in making the Andy Beck Images presence even better than we have done in the past. In fact we are really excited about this venture and over time we will continue to make improvements to our set up.
Giving my talks and presentations are really still on hold for the time being* so in the meantime we will be attending shows across the north of England. I actually love doing these events, meeting customers and chatting about my work and future plans.
Some events are awaiting confirmation. In fact just this morning we learnt that Reeth Show is cancelled. A bit of a blow as we know the area and people well. Never mind, we will find alternative events. Here is a calendar of events so far. Some are to be confirmed but we will add other shows wherever possible.
