Salford

A waterside city built on broadcast, sport, and the Ship Canal.

MediaCityUK sits on the old Salford Quays docks, with the BBC, ITV and the dock10 studios a few minutes' drive from one another and The Lowry and the Imperial War Museum North across the water. R5 runs production transport across the Quays: early call-sheet pickups, guest and contributor transfers for studio recordings, and NDAs on request for productions that need discretion.

Salford also has sport: the AJ Bell Stadium at Barton, and the Old Trafford grounds on the Trafford boundary. On fixture days the V-Class takes a full crew with kit, and the E-Class suits a director with overnight bags. The Lowry Hotel on Chapel Wharf to Manchester Airport runs around twenty minutes via the M602 and M60. On event days our drivers check the Quays and stadium approaches first and route around the traffic. See our Manchester executive chauffeur service overview.
