Supply 2 Location to expand operations in NEOM

UK based Supply 2 Location (S2L), announced yesterday their new international division and first regional expansion into NEOM, Saudi Arabia in early 2024. Building on their UK based regional depots,  S2L’s Middle Eastern expansion solidifies its international presence, and improves accessibility for a global market. S2L’s current managing director Ian Pearce will take on the role as international CEO.

“Over recent years, our international requests for location support have increased, and we have contributed to significant projects for clients in Malta, Italy, Namibia, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Iceland, Morocco, Dubai and the Canary Islands,” stated Pearce. “From early 2024, our new international division means our expanded group will be better positioned to handle increased enquiries across Europe and the Middle East as film and HETV production grows across these regions.”
