A West London automotive solutions company is targeting major growth with a newly launched service for the film and TV sector that’s being supported by Vanaways.
AGS Film and TV supplies vehicles and trucks to the film and television industry – a combination of self-drive hire for private use or with drivers, as well as the support vehicles needed to move crews, equipment and production sets.
The division – part of the £45m turnover, Heathrow-based AGS Group – has provided more than 200 vehicles to support production of 17 films over the past three months, as the global industry looks to recover from recent challenges.
Boosted by contracts with the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount and Sony production studios, AGS expects its new division to grow rapidly as the industry grows again in the UK.
Newly appointed account manager Jaimie Sawyer will be a key element of continuing to grow AGS Film and TV threefold next year, reaching a target of £10m turnover by the end of 2026.
The firm’s growth has been supported by Vanaways. Facilitated by business development manager Hannah Pearson, the Bristol-based broker has supplied 29 vehicles, including Peugeot E-2008s, Ford Transit and Iveco Daily dropsides, with a mixture of Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger Wildtraks.
AGS is also introducing further hybrid Toyota Hilux pickups to its fleet, due for delivery towards the end of the year as the new model phases into the UK.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with Vanaways as our new venture continues to grow,” Jaimie Sawyer commented. “Hannah and her team have impressed us with their dedication and service, and their fluidity of stock is exactly what we need.”
Vanaways is itself undergoing strong growth and is on track to deliver sales on more than 6,000 vehicles in 2024.
Working with a vast network of suppliers across the UK, the company offers free delivery with a digitalised sales process which enables quick fulfilment of the customer’s fleet needs.
