Our Story

The UK Locations story began in 2006 when Nick Jones founded the company to satisfy an industry need for beautiful, shoot-ready locations. Seven years ago, Nick tragically passed away and Lauren, Nick’s sister-in-law, stepped in to take the reigns. Having never run a business before, Lauren guided the business through the testing times of the UK’s worst recession since the 1970s. Not held back by her mistakes, Lauren guided UK Locations to successful business growth year-on-year, building a fantastic team and a unique proposition in the process.

Since 2012 we’ve developed a reliable and unrivalled service and carefully crafted our company culture.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”  – Helen Keller

No matter if you’re a client, location partner, colleague or supplier, we collaborate in partnership and treat everyone with respect. All successful partnerships are based on trust, commitment, hard work and fun and this drives us day in day out. We place the utmost importance on solutions, communication and quality. This trio enables us to provide reliable, brief-conquering services that are unique to our clients’ requirements, building a truly bespoke package that runs smoothly.

“I have worked very closely over many years with Lauren and the team at UK Locations. They have a quality very rare in this day and age, they care about the service they provide to the production and to the location owners. Having been a Location Manager on various productions, I find their professionalism, care and service next to none!”
