Location Manager, Location Scout & Fixer

London • UK • International

As a TV Commercial Location Manager, with almost 30 years’ experience, I have delivered locations for television commercials, music videos, branded content and corporate productions across London, the UK and internationally.

Working alongside production companies, directors, agencies and creative teams, I manage every stage of the location process, from creative location scouting and feasibility through to permits, logistics, stakeholder liaison and filming on location.

Finding the Right Commercial Location

Commercial productions move quickly, often with only a short window to secure the perfect location before filming begins. The challenge is always the same: finding locations that deliver the creative vision while meeting practical, logistical and budget requirements.

Over the years I have sourced everything from private houses and contemporary offices to industrial sites, city streets, heritage buildings and unique architectural locations, always balancing creative ambition with production realities.

Managing Commercial Productions

Finding the location is only the beginning. Successful commercial shoots depend on careful planning, efficient logistics and experienced on-set management.

As a TV Commercial Location Manager, I coordinate permits, technical recces, stakeholder liaison, parking and filming operations, helping productions run smoothly whether they’re shooting in London, elsewhere in the UK or internationally.

Selected TV Commercial, Music Video & Branded Content Projects

Production clients include Sky Sports, National Geographic, Adidas, eBay, Film4, Unilever, Coral, Agent Provocateur, First Choice, Yohji Yamamoto and a music video for Fergie.

Below is a selection of television commercials, music videos and branded content productions from my career.
