Reakt Photobooths, from the beginning…

From hobby to profession

Hi, we’re Adam and Glen, (Glen’s the tall one)

Like many people we were bored of our normal 9-5 jobs. We researched far and wide for ideas to set up a small business that could earn us extra money at the weekends to pay for holidays for our young families.

We stumbled upon the photo booth industry through a friend of a friend and after calculating the return on investment we decided this would be a good chance to earn a bit of extra cash.

Back in 2011 there weren’t many photo booth suppliers in the UK and certainly none that we felt confident enough to purchase from so we thought about building our own booth. We sourced some of the best components in the market and after much trial and error and a lot of imagination we built our first photo booth and set up the company Bam Booths Ltd.

Our Team

Adam Doughty

Immense Inventor

Adam co-founded Reakt and has a passion for developing new products and being a marketing guru. He wishes there were more hours in a day or he could clone himself, we’re not too keen on that idea though…

Glen Miller

Sales Pundit Extraordinaire

Co-founder of Reakt and the most popular member of Cradely Town Pensioners Football Club, Glen could sell a hamburger to a vegan. Well, if the hamburger was a photobooth and the vegan didn’t have one.

Amy Dowling

Graphic Design Crackerjack

Amy’s favourite part of her job as Reakt’s designer (except for lunch) is turning clients ideas into reality to create awesome looking booths and selfies. Every day brings a new challenge: Sleek or retro? Green or purple?

Dave Moore

Expert Erector

Dave loves building Adam’s inventions. We’ve always wondered why he was so keen to be at work and then we found out his only hobby is fishing. He joined the Reakt team 3 years ago and is now the best photo booth builder in the world, well, in Birmingham.

Eddie Beaston

Event Attendant Veteran

People can’t resist getting a selfie with Eddie when he’s on photoboothing duty, he’s certainly our most photogenic member of staff and thinks he’s great with the ladies.

Bethany Miller

Social Media Maestro

Beth, the youngest yet most professional member of our team, she’s been helping out at events since she was knee high to a grasshopper. She’s recently been promoted to director of our Social Media Channels because we just can’t keep up. What’s Snapchat agin?

Glenys Doughty

Skilful Seamstress

We’re not kidding ourselves, we know that Reakt’s success is down to Mom’s seamstress skills, we don’t know where we’d be without her and our photo booth curtains would certainly be less impressive.

Ken Miller

Adept Accountant

Everyone’s on their best behaviour when Ken, our accountant, is in the office. When he’s not number crunching or drinking coffee he’s keeping us in line and getting us organised, he likes to think he’s firm but fair.
