Operations Manager at Framegidi Limited

Framegidi was founded by Oladapo Salami, a real-estate/interior photographer and art enthusiast in 2019 as a full-service custom framing and art printing/sale business aimed at taking the hassle out of custom framing for the average design-conscious individuals. The idea for framegidi came from seeing a void in the Nigerian market for full-service custom framing after a series of unsuccessful attempts at having frames made from the typical local framing shops. The business was then set up to solve that problem and make custom framing much easier for people.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
