Lights, camera, action – movie and TV support specialist launches regional hub

The UK’s largest specialist support company to the film and television production sector has agreed a deal to create a new Midlands regional hub, commercial property consultants Burley Browne have announced.

Supply 2 Location Group has agreed a lease on warehouse units 5 – 6 at Franchise Street, Wednesbury.

Burley Browne was appointed as retained letting agents following a successful sale campaign of the same property in the summer of 2022 and negotiated terms with the occupiers on the basis of a new letting.

The property offers well-presented, modern warehouse accommodation, with a self-contained yard which is set behind a secure gated entrance. The building has a gross internal floor area of just under 6,000 sq ft.

Supply 2 Location Group is the UK’s leading supplier of location services and logistics support to high-end film and TV production in the entertainment industry. Chief executive officer James Williams said: “We are delighted to have finalised negotiations through Burley Browne on our new Midlands depot from where we are looking forward to supporting our clients in the expanding film and broadcast production sector.

“The site will also operate as the centre depot for the new S2L Group engineering division. This strategic location also completed our plan to provide a national network of regional distribution hubs across the UK which allows us to provide a highly efficient integrated service capability for the film production community infrastructure.”

Ben Nicholson, senior associate director of Burley Browne, said: “This is a great example of the agency services Burley Browne can offer. Back in early 2022 we became involved with the property and concluded a sale to the current owners. They then retained us as letting agents.

“To have been able to secure a well-established national operator for the premises is a very pleasing result. The high levels of interest in the property reinforces the continued strong demand for industrial/warehouses currently being experienced, with a general lack of availability in the market still being experienced.”
