Water Delivery For The BBC Film Set & Subara TV Commercial!!

Scott from SFX emailled us describing how we have helped over the last year:

My job as a Special Effects Supervisor means I spend most of my time making the impossible possible ! During Summer 2009 we were asked to provide rain in several places places for the BBC mini-series 'Paradox' - this presented the usual challenge of sourcing water and utilising it in a convenient location for filming. One call to Starkey Tankers solved my problem. Soon 30,000 litres of clean, fresh water were being driven to the set. Within minutes of arriving I had a plentiful supply for my rain rig.

A similar scenario was needed in the middle of Snowdonia for a 'Subaru' commercial and I didn't have much head scratching to do before I picked up the phone and called David - short notice but he provided the usual, hassle free service and the job went smoothly. Round the clock, same day, unusual requests...the Starkey's have taken it all in their stride and become a valued part of my problem solving resources.

Manchester Airport called on Starkey Tankers to service them in their hour of need.  After receiving a phone call at 10pm over the Christmas break requesting tankers for the transport and on site storage of anti-freeze, we successfully opened the yard at 2.30am ( in 6" of snow"!) and made available tankers for emergency use. 

We were later told that without our quick response a major part of the airport would be shut down due to poor weather conditions.  We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week to ensure faultless customer service.  Call Will Starkey on 07734 964212 for out of office hours tanker requirements.
