This led in 1915 to an invitation by the Royal Flying Corps for William Vinten to design and build the Model B, a special cine-camera for use in aircraft Image
In 1928 the company expanded and moved to Cricklewood, North London, mainly supplying the film industry by creating specialised equipment for companies such as Kodak

The Second World War created an increased requirement for reconnaissance cameras and the company secured military contracts which gave it world market presence for reconnaissance work.[ Image
In the late 1940s, the broadcast market began to flourish and the company developed the first telerecording camera. As a result the BBC became increasingly involved with Vinten..
n 1988 Vinten split into two separate entities, W Vinten Ltd (which became Thales Optronics), focused solely on reconnaissance equipment, and Vinten Broadcast, focussed on broadcast mounting equipment

John Jones is a framing company, but it’s certainly not your average local shop front framer. Its clients include galleries like the Tate and National Portrait Gallery, photographers like Mario Testino, designers like Ralph Lauren,..
the art collections of big banks like Barclays, DB & HSBC, and the Sainsbury’s collection. And with a range of work that extends to Kofi Anan’s letter to Bono for MTV & David Beckham’s football memorabilia, John Jones is at the top of the framing game."
John Jones founded his business in the 1960s and it went on to frame for the likes of Francis Bacon and David Hockney, as well as working with some of the biggest galleries in the national and international art community.
