Harriet Lawrence

Despite the early starts, miserable weather and endless rubbish, Harriet is happiest out and about and still after 20+ years thinks being a location manager is the best job in the world. Starting in commercials, Harriet has found the moon on Earth, Scotland inside of the M25, the Maldives in a Heathrow hotel and Wolverhampton in Central Scotland: she has filmed underground, over-ground, on beaches, mountains, prisons and stately homes. She has worked on all sorts of TV dramas, feature films, and stills shoots including Suffragette, Burton and Taylor, Fleming, Parks & Recreation, Henry VIII, all the Outnumbered series, setting up the first series of Downton Abbey and many of Stephen Poliakoff’s films including Dancing on the Edge. Harriet also runs the Assistant Location Managers Training Course for the Production Guild – something she has done for many years previously with Skillset and Film London.
