The winner of the 2026 Production Guild UK Location Management Award sponsored by Entertainment Partners is Charlie Hayes, Supervising Location Manager on F1: The Movie.
Charlie was awarded for his work on a production that required the management of multiple complex locations, across a schedule that was impacted the strikes. He managed a large team successfully, while meeting the needs of production.
Charlie then immediately moved across to work on Narnia for Netflix (to be released in April 2027) where he immediately transitioned to a domestic project, with large central London locations and the unique complexities that they bring.
Charlie was commended for his continuous work as an astute and intelligent location manager, providing an example to all those who work with him.
