We have specialist Unit Managers for TVCs and long-form productions and will package together the elements required for your specific needs based on the size and scale of your production.
No budget for a unit manager? Dry hire our gear to cut costs.
We have the industry know-how to source whatever it is you need, if we don’t have it, we’ll get it, or provide you with someone who will. Daily, weekly and long-term rates are available on all hire items. We offer pick up or delivery and can provide a trailer if you need it.
We can cater for anything from 4 to 400 people.
“The convenience of having one contact providing everything [including] full unit vehicle is truely unrivalled.”

The Unit Manager oversees all on-set logistics, ensuring cast, crew, and equipment have the necessary facilities, amenities, and services to run smoothly. This includes setting up base camp, crew facilities, catering areas, toilets, waste management, and maintaining compliance with council and safety requirements.
Ideally during pre-production to assist with planning site logistics, waste solutions, traffic and parking requirements, and coordinating suppliers.
A Location Manager secures and negotiates use of locations, while a Unit Manager is responsible for the practical setup, day-to-day operations, and smooth running of those locations during filming.
This depends on the scale of the production. Our unit services cater to crews of 20 – 150.
