About the Company

The Greenaway group was founded in 1964 by Gerald Greenaway and Brian Morris. It was to start life as a Retail business selling SLR cameras (single lens reflex) then the state of the art in photographic Equipment. The Business steadily grew in size and popularity with the advent of the Japanese manufacturing industries coming on line with an affordable range of cameras and film for the general public. Business grew and at its Peak held retail shops in six major Towns in southern England and store dedicated to professional Photographers and a distribution warehouse to support the business. Well all good things come to an end with the arrival large business power run by large capital from London and soon specialist camera equipment was sold by chains Like Argos where no professional help or service was offered ...just a "Box across the Counter" for the _ "cash for sales" technique. Greenaway Group could compete and started shrinking. During this time Stephen Greenaway, Gerald's eldest son started to assemble some of the first Perspex housings ever to be constructed for retail sale for Under Water photography. The Business although small in comparison steadily grew a reputation for good specialist products in a new market place. Greenaway Marine was Established and became the Uk distributors for Ikelite Under Water Plastic boxes which were made in the USA. Well it wasn't that long before Stephen realised that Anodised Aluminium is the ideal material for Under Water Photographic Use and started to Manufacture what we have now as the Seapro range of Housings.
