Speaking about his company’s attendance at FOCUS, Lin Atkin of Square Sail Ventures states: “Square Sail Ventures Ltd is delighted to be exhibiting at this year’s FOCUS Event. Although our company has been involved with the film industry for over 30 years, last year we came under new ownership and totally refreshed our profile. We were looking for a platform to promote our business for the future and to reconnect with past clients. What better event than FOCUS? It appeals to representatives from all areas of film, television and the media, not only here in the UK but also on the wider international stage. We cannot wait to be involved!”
