BBC, ITV, and dock10 production runs. Lowry Hotel to Manchester Airport in 20 minutes. Match-day transfers to Old Trafford. Mercedes S-Class and V-Class.
Salford
Salford covers MediaCityUK, The Lowry, Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Old Trafford Stadium, and Salford Quays. R5 runs a regular book of work for BBC and ITV productions, media clients staying at Lowry Hotel, and executives visiting dock10. Cast cars for panel shows on Quay Street, unit transport for Red Productions, and confidential transfers for talent arriving through the Salford approach.
Match-day work at Old Trafford Cricket Ground and Manchester United's stadium is bread-and-butter. Mercedes V-Class and S-Class are the workhorses — room for production crew plus kit, or directors plus overnight bags. Lowry Hotel to T2/T3 at Manchester Airport is a clean 20-minute run via M60 junction 12; on match days we reroute via A6 to avoid the stadium approach. Backed by R5's full fleet and dispatch team — see our Manchester executive chauffeur service overview for the full operator brief.
