Canon’s success story began in Japan in the 1930s, when a small group of enthusiastic scientists set out to establish their presence in camera technology.

The company first established a presence in the UK in 1976. At that time, its activities were confined to the sale of calculators, micrographic equipment, copiers and similar products for the business market.

In 1982, a separate camera sales operation was merged to form Canon (UK) Ltd, and since then the company has grown to become a world-leading provider of market-driven digital imaging solutions for the office and home environments.

Canon UK, who currently employ around 2,000 people in the UK and Ireland, became sponsors of the Sports Portfolio of the Year and Sports Photographer of the Year at the 2017 SJA British Sports Journalism Awards and have continued that arrangement ever since.
