TONY C MILLER

CINEMATOGRAPHER

The Team at TFR consistently go above and beyond to get exact requirements of film rigging realised, as well as having creative solutions to conquer every situation. TFR's rigging knowledge is unsurpassed. They are my immediate go to for all rigging needs.

DONNA MABEY

LINE PRODUCER

I have used TFR on a range of productions for location and studio rigging. I have always found it to be a fluid and happy process from the admin team through to the rigging team on the ground. They’re willing and able to find solutions for whatever the set up and budget scale. I would happily use TFR for rigging requirements in the future.

BEN PRESTON

Commercials Producer

TFR have been a great support to me over the years whether it’s a large planned out job or last minute request. They’ve always been able to help and constantly deliver a top level of service from start to finish.

LENNARD ORTMANN

TFR have always been on time and on budget for me and Linzi in the office deserves some kind of medal for having the cheeriest voice in the biz. Will go back every time!

Julian White

Gaffer

The “rigging crew” in a gaffers “tool box”is the one instrument that needs to be a multi tool.Every time you need a crane prepped for lamps, soft box flown, studio rigged, window tented & blacked out or tower made the riggers are your first call.Without them very little is going to happen.They literally are the structure that we work off.They need to be trustworthy, flexible and reliable.TFR stands for exactly that!

Joel stokes

Line Producer

I’ve been using TFR for many years and have always found them to be hugely reliable and supportive. Lee, Jamie and the riggers they employ act with professionalism, integrity and good humour and above all else their attention to detail when it comes to matters of health and safety is second to none. I hope the collaborations continue for many more projects in the future!
