HAMA UK CLOSES

The UK branch of the photo accessory specialist is being shuttered for good this August, with distribution of select best-selling lines being transferred to Peak Development, BPI News has been told. At the time of writing Hama UK was speaking to photo dealers and specialists directly to inform them of the change.
