The Liquidator subsequently accepted an offer presented by Design Pics Inc., to purchase the assets of Axiom Photographic, which became effective October 25, 2012. The business of Axiom Photographic will continue under the management of Tim Hook in Axiom’s London office as a division of Design Pics Inc.
