Action Plus acquired by Portray Limited
Action Plus, as 30-year old sports image library, based in London, has been acquired by Portray Limited, a company wholly owned by industry veteran Stephen Hearn. For 30 years, Action Plus was owned and operated by Richard Francis, a well known and sought after car and motorbike event photographer. The library, mostly editorial with news/feature images covering over 300 different sporting events, now extends to over 1.3 million images and is currently represented by more than 20 photo agencies worldwide.
“together with my love of sports and the nature of the distribution potential, Action Plus was an obvious choice for my next investment” said Stephen Hearn. The business was renamed ‘Action Plus Sports Images’ and moved its Tower Bridge location to the Holborn Circus area this month to provide better communication and local contact for the majority of it’s clients. In the coming months, Action Plus Sports Images will launch a commercial rights managed sports collection, which has been in development for a number of years.
