With over 15 years of experience working at the BBC & ITV in tours, & events as a Tour guide, Live events presenter & tours manager in award winning teams, has given me unique knowledge, and valuable experience in this specialist tourism arena.

After the pandemic closed down lots of things in this field, and during the lockdowns I decided I wanted to launch my own tours business.

So here we are, two years in the making is ‘The Locationist’. The filming locations walking tour.

With a genuine interest in the process of filmmaking & getting a real buzz when I have found filming locations myself on my travels around the world; I believe I can deliver an engaging & fun tour for fellow film fans. The tour will be packed full of ‘Easter Eggs’ and other pop culture references that film enthusiasts will LOVE!

I have even made a few appearances over the years on television shows including ‘Hollyoaks’ ‘EastEnders’ with a small speaking part in ‘Coronation Street’ I can tell the guests first hand what is like filming on location to enhance the tour experience, along with the other tour presenters.

I’m passionate about always delivering memorable, exciting, and entertaining tour experiences; with that BBC quality instilled in me. This is proven by being part of award winning tours teams, and delivering as a manager, 5 star rated tour experiences on Trip Advisor with excellent consistent reviews on socials.

The Locationist Tours story is only just beginning, with possible tours in other cities including London later in the year.

We are very excited to greet our first guests in Birmingham & Manchester in May.

See you all on tour soon.
