"Screen Manchester has worked with the Location X team for many years now and their experience, attention to detail and commitment in being able to return to a location is testament to the wide range of productions they have worked on. Mark, Lois, and the whole team pride themselves on leaving locations exactly how they found them (if not better). From early enquiry to full application and reinstatement, they are committed in making sure that thorough liaison takes place with all parties and the necessary permissions/permits are in place."
"Having worked with Location X over the past 8 years as Line Producer and Producer, they have what the industry needs. A fantastic balance between the creative and logistical side of their roles. Creatively they always manage to find the little gem and will go the extra mile to help a Director achieve their vision. To complement that they have a great understanding of the budget and aware that they must be able to control the spend, contracts done a timely manner and fantastic relationships with suppliers. Without doubt my go to people when it comes to Locations."
"Creative England’s Filming in England Team are funded by central government via the BFI to support HETV and Feature production across regional England. As such, we work with a lot of brilliant Location Managers and these guys are up there with the very best. They help productions realise their ambitions through local knowledge and an approachable and flexible nature which they demonstrate to all parties when filming!"
"Mark and Lois (Location X) have location managed a number of high end TV projects that have shot in the Liverpool city region over the last few years, all of which have had their challenges, but this team work in such an organised, open and honest way that I can be confident that all elements of the shoot are being well managed and all stakeholders considered and consulted with throughout, they show so much respect and care for all locations they use, which is really important to us so we can sustain filming into the future."
"I’ve worked with Location X for many years and more recently on Nolly and Fool Me Once. They are all amazing at what they do creatively and logistically . As Production you always want to leave locations on a good note and the feedback I’ve had from location owners has always been how professional and cooperative Location X are. Such a hard working group of people you can always rely on"
