Where do we start?!
We’ve made some amazing leaps forward with fantastic achievements and we worked across so many productions that we’re pinching ourselves to make sure we’re not dreaming.
After a long period of training, courses, recruiting and hard grafting, we finally became SIA licenced and launched ourselves as a security company at the start of 2024. We recruit and work with our security guards directly, there is no middleman! Our guards are hand-picked by an experienced Supervising Location Manager with over 20 years of deploying effective security strategies for Film and TV production. This ensures our guards are of the highest standard, are integrated as an integral part of the production crew and their welfare and working conditions are at the top of our agenda.
We couldn’t be happier with our tremendous team of security guards and what we have achieved in our first year together. We’ve provided security for some fantastic projects including high-end TV drama, various adverts filming around the Highlands and Edinburgh, a large film production filming at a disused quarry, and photo shoots for well-known clothing brands. The feedback we have received from both our clients and guards has been amazing and we’re delighted that our guards were recognised for their hard work and dedication to the productions they have worked on this year.
As a responsible company and employer, we have been fully vetted by some of the UK's biggest broadcasters and, this year, we became a preferred supplier to them.
Scottish Location Services was selected and approved for the GBBRB Best Businesses in Britain 2024 which is presented only to businesses that have maintained a 4+ star google review rating or equivalent proof of customer satisfaction.
We’re bursting with pride to list the productions we’ve worked on this year including most of the major feature films to come to Scotland - two big Netflix features and a large-scale Paramount feature. We’ve been all over the country, in the highlands, Islands, cities, villages and towns.
Sending motorhomes with attendants for Cast No.1 to Undertow, motorhomes for Cast No.1 and attendants for The Running Man, motorhomes for Cast No.1 and gators with drivers to Woman in the Cabin 10, cast motorhomes for Coldwater, kit and catering to Lockerbie, location Marshalls to Window Wonderland, cast and director greenrooms for Glenrothan, greenrooms, drivers, kit, and catering to Borgess and Me.
We provided location services to so many amazing titles including Mission, Fear, California Schemin, Shetland S9, Only Child, Summerwater and plenty of adverts to boot, for a number of reputable production companies.
We’ve been growing our Location Scout’s team this year as well with Kirsty receiving her first two credits for a Scottish Power and Logan Air advert. Well done Kirsty!
We couldn’t do our work without the support of our amazing guards, drivers, suppliers and subcontractors and we’re so lucky to work with the best in the industry. We’ve built some very strong relationships over the years which grew even stronger this year and we’re incredibly grateful. A big thank you for your continued support and we’re excited to continue working with you in 2025!
Finally, thank you so much to our clients! It’s always such a joy to be asked to work on your contracts and support you on the ground in (quite often) very hectic environments. You are why we do it and we really look forward to supporting you more in 2025.
Merry Christmas everyone and all the very best for 2025!
Team SLS
