Panavision Grip and Remote Systems moves London operations into larger facility
LONDON, England (8 April, 2025) – Panavision Grip and Remote Systems, a leading rental provider of camera cranes, dollies and grip accessories for the motion-picture industry and a division of the Panavision group, has relocated its London operations. The division’s rental inventory is now housed in a 25,149-square foot facility, representing a nearly 10,000-square-foot increase over the company’s previous location. Additionally, the new site is conveniently situated directly across the road from Panavision London’s camera and optics rental operations.
"Our rental inventory is continually expanding with the latest camera supports and grip solutions, and we had outgrown our previous facility as a result," said Alan "Wolfie" Smith, Panavision Grip and Remote Systems Director. "This new, larger location keeps us at the ready to embrace future waves of technology so filmmakers can continue to count on us for all their grip-equipment needs, whatever their projects call for. It was also important to us in the expansion that we remain close to our camera location, and this new site is only a few lengths' of track away."
Panavision Grip and Remote Systems’ new location also features three loading bays for customers picking up and returning equipment, an interior layout that streamlines the flow of equipment between shipping and receiving and service, and electric-vehicle charging stations, providing convenient and eco-conscious parking for customers and employees.
Led by Smith and Panavision Grip and Remote Systems Manager Karl Teggin, the new site is fully operational, located at Unit 49, Bristol Road, Greenford, UB6 8UP. The facility is close to Heathrow airport as well as London-area studios and other Panavision group divisions.
Recent projects serviced by Panavision Grip and Remote Systems include the limited series Black Doves, the series Outlander: Blood of My Blood, and the features Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Jurassic World: Rebirth and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The company’s rental inventory includes modular and telescopic cranes, off-road mobile bases, remote heads, dollies and more.
