Location Scout & Recce Chauffeur — Yorkshire

Recce and scout days across the Yorkshire Moors, Dales and coast for film & TV production teams. Driver with production credits, all-terrain routes.

Location scouting in Yorkshire is a lot of miles, a lot of gates, and a lot of turning around in single-track lanes. A chauffeur with actual production credits (which we have — Peaky Blinders, All Creatures, Emmerdale, four period dramas) is the shortcut.

Booked by London-based location managers, US HBO productions doing UK pre-viz, and commercial-agency creative teams.

Hotel / airport → 4–8 locations across the moors, dales or coast → hotel.

The silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space. Share passenger and luggage details when enquiring.

Full day 08:00 to 19:00. Some overnight recces for coastal-and-moor combinations.

£680 day rate. Multi-day location tour: contact.
