HP5 Production: We Are Back!

Following the recent easing of the coronavirus lockdown measures here in the UK we are excited to report that life is starting to return to our ILFORD Photo Mobberley site with our machines and staff being phased back in to operation.

In March we built up stock levels of our ILFORD black and white films, darkroom papers and chemistry, to see us through what was to be an undetermined period of closure. We are delighted that in this time you have all kept shooting black and white film and many of you have even used your extra free time to get into a darkroom and print. As such demand for our film, paper and chemicals has remained high and now much of our buffer stock has gone.

Our teams have a long list of back orders to fulfill as soon as possible and we will be working our way through this product by product. However, it may take a few weeks for this to work its way through to your retailer.

During this period we also temporarily closed HARMAN LAB, (http://www.harmanlab.com), our onsite lab service for both black & white and colour film processing as well as enlargements and prints from digital files. We are now pleased to confirm the lab has also reopened its doors for orders with the films that arrived during lockdown as the priority. We thank all those customers for their patience.
