Our Story

Established in 2007 in London, we started with just a small portfolio of location houses and a pocket book of contacts. 12 years on and Shootfactory is an industry name, working with a portfolio of more than 700 locations and an enviable client list boasting some of the world’s most exciting brands.

Known for our high quality locations, every listing you’ll see in our portfolio has been individually selected from thousands of applications, and our years of experience (42 collectively!) has culminated in a process which is proven to be the most effective way of pairing our clients’ requirements with the most exceptional locations.

Our website and operations have all been designed by our in house team, and with great attention to how our clients work. The website is easy to navigate, and contains just as much information as necessary to showcase our incredible portfolio of locations, and (if we do say so ourselves) it looks pretty good too.

Shootfactory is a team effort, and with strong family values. Coming from all manner of professional backgrounds, we are a collective of creative minds each with strong organisational skills and a genuine desire to nurture lasting relationships with our clients. Every member of our team brings a different quality to the operations, and we’re pretty sure we’ve cracked it with this bunch.
