Honey wagon hire for the TV industry 26 March 2024 Being a location manager in the TV industry in the UK is rewarding yet challenging. But using a reputable honey wagon service will ease the strain. We explain how. Life as a location manager is never dull! Liaising with directors and designers as well as heads of departments, a location manager not only sources an appropriate location but also negotiates all contracts required. And that’s before filming has even started. On location, they have to manage a multitude of things including parking, noise levels, catering provision, health and safety, toilet facilities – the list goes on. Then, when filming is over, it is the responsibility of the location manager to ensure the location is left in pristine condition before being handed back to the owner. At Fortis Hire, our 20+ years of experience as suppliers of honey wagons equip us to ease the pressure on location managers by taking away one of their headaches – luxury toilet hire. Honey wagon hire in the TV industry To comply with the HSE’s guidelines, location managers must, where it is ‘reasonably practicable’, provide toilet and washing facilities and, in the case of location shoots, a place to change. A TV set on location must also be accessible and location managers need to be mindful of this too.
