Prop Store - Ultimate Movie Collectables - London - Los Angeles

Chief Executive Officer

The founder of The Prop Store of London, Stephen became interested in movie memorabilia while his previous sign-making company was working as a contractor on the sets of Eyes Wide Shut.

Stephen began networking with Industry technicians and found his first few treasures, which led him to pursue Prop Store as a full time business. At that time, no one in the UK was selling this type of memorabilia as a full-time operation.

Stephen has been a steady pioneer in the industry, constantly developing and evolving the business and constantly trying fresh initiatives. He has located some of the most significant caches of film memorabilia of the past decade and both his personal and company collections reflect this- they are amongst the finest in the world.

General Manager

Tim was The Prop Store's first employee, and has been collecting since 1987.

He has witnessed amazing changes in the collecting industry over those two decades, both in the way these assets are sold and the prices they achieve.

In the early 90s Tim would make regular trips from London to Los Angeles to scout for new material for his own collection, and to trade out material he had sourced in the UK. Tim forged a massive network of collectors during this pre-Internet age when connecting with people interested in a niche market was very difficult. He retains many of these connections today, and they are a constant ace in Prop Store's hand.

Jurassic Park shaped his childhood, and after seeing it nine times in theaters, he decided that he wanted to make a career out of storytelling.
