Stuart Norris
“We Make People Smile”

“We make people smile”. That is the vision of Magic Memories, a company founded by Stuart Norris and John Wikstrom 20 years ago for NZ$1.00! This fantastic business now enjoys a turnover of some NZ$50M per year, employs 1000 people and is located at 120 sites in nine countries.

What does this business do? You may well have bought from it without knowing it. Magic Memories photographs you, your family and friends at entertainment venues around the world, including London Zoo, London Acquarim, Harrods, Barcelona Football club, Table Mountain (South Africa) Shotover Jet and AJ Hackett Bungy Jumps in New Zealand, Sydney Opera House…. and many more locations.

It was a great pleasure interviewing my friend, Stuart Norris recently. He lives and breathes the vision and values of his company. Listen to this extremely engaging story of entrepreneurship success… and how they managed to get partners on board to fund the growth of the business. I kid you not…. Stuart and John only invested NZ$1.00 at the start of the venture, and the worked like Trojans to bring their vision to life.

The story doesn’t end there…. Magic Memories is on a major growth trajectory right now. Learn how and where this growth is occurring and why John and Stuart are committed to having the best people support them in the business, both at the board/governance level and on the management team.

I know you will enjoy this wonderful tale of entrepreneurship success.
