About Canonbury
Trusted by Podiatrists Since 1983
Canonbury is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of podiatry and footcare products. Family-run and proudly independent, we’ve supported podiatrists, foot health practitioners, and students for over four decades.
From essential instruments and clinic equipment to retail footcare and orthotic solutions, Canonbury remains the trusted name for quality, value, and professional partnership.
Our Story: From Family Roots to Industry Leader
Canonbury was founded in 1983 by Hans Bakker, whose vision was simple: to provide podiatrists and clinicians with reliable, high-quality products and an exceptional level of service.
Over the years, that family business has grown into a national supplier serving thousands of clinics and practitioners across the UK.
Today, Hans’s daughter Louise Bakker continues the Canonbury legacy, combining traditional values with a modern approach. Under her leadership, Canonbury has embraced innovation, digital transformation, and sustainability, while holding firm to the principles that built its reputation: integrity, quality, and care.

Our strength lies not only in the products we supply but in the relationships we’ve built. We’re proud to support podiatrists, foot health practitioners, and students across the UK in delivering the very best in patient care.”
– Louise Bakker, Managing Director
