    Thanks for your support, friendship and service over the years! I always feel supported, listened to and valued at Focus Canning. Loved seeing you guys grow over the time I have known you and I hope to see the same level of growth, success and happiness!

  • Sean Ellis
    Director

    I remember meeting Ben and his crew nearly ten years ago when they were stationed out of a small building in Hoxton Square. We had tea and biscuits and geeked out about about lenses, cameras and film making. Ben’s obvious passion for what he does has been the driving force that has taken Focus Canning from strength to strength and is now one of the major players in the camera rental world.

    I’ve worked with the team at Focus Canning over the past 8 years and they’ve always gone out of their way to provide a great quality, reliable service as well as friendly and generous support. They care about what they do and really try to understand what you want to achieve, coming up with practical solutions that keep everything running smoothly on the day

    It’s been a pleasure to watch Focus Canning grow from a friendly rental house with a single Red One camera, to the thriving, quality company it is today.

  • Darren Ladbury
    Cinematographer

    I’ve known Focus Canning since their humble beginnings at Hoxton Square. They have been absolutely instrumental in my path to becoming a DOP and I’m forever grateful for their knowledge and support over the years. It makes it very easy as a DOP to know that the kit I’m receiving is always faultless and provided with those extras for that last minute change of approach. x

    Focus Canning have become one of my first calls when prepping for a project. I am always amazed at how helpful everyone is and how going that little bit extra is never too much to ask when looking for any unusual bits you need to get the shot in the bag. I can’t thank them enough for the support they have given me and my career.

  • Matt Riley
    Cinematographer

    No matter what unusual weird set up or rig requirements I’ve thrown at the team (and at short notice!) they’ve always been able to make it happen. Always supportive and friendly, just a really great bunch of guys

They’re my first call on any project

  • Louis Norton Selzer
    Director

    I’ve used almost every kit hire house in London over the last 8 years. But for the last 4, it’s been almost exclusively Focus Canning. Their kit is always on point. Their people are the best. Focus Canning has helped me not just with the day to day commercial projects but also the passion ones too. It’s no exaggeration to say I wouldn’t be where I am in my career today without them. To the moon and back Focus Canning! x

  • James Northcote

  • Richard O’Hare
    Cinematographer

    We’ve used Focus Canning for many years and they are always our go to whether in London or in the North East. Very rarely do they not have what we need and if they can’t find it they figure out other equipment we can use instead. They’d always be my first port of call for any shoot

  • Shawn Butcher

    Been incredible to always have the support of Focus Canning for projects big and small. They go out of their way to deliver excellent service, work with my budgets, solve problems and support us from start to finish
