Dave started as a unit driver, carrying cast and crew to set: the job that teaches timing, discretion and how a production works. In 1995 he founded Unit Cars.
Act II · 2000 – 2011
By Chocolat in 2000 Dave was transportation captain. The same year he took charge of transport on Harry Potter, and also coordinated transport on V for Vendetta and 10,000 BC.
Act III · 2011 – 2015
Transport manager on Skyfall, then transportation captain on a run of major productions, alongside a growing corporate and hospitality business.
2000 – 2011
Running the transport office for the series meant the prompt and safe carriage of up to 600 people a day, including VIPs, cast and crew, and overseeing up to 100 vehicles and drivers on every shooting day for a decade. Every driver, car, minibus and coach was fully licensed and insured.
Dave Rosenbaum looked after me for the past ten years while I worked on the Harry Potter franchise for Warner Bros. I started filming when I was 11 and completed the series in June 2010 at the age of 20.
Throughout those years Dave provided me with the best drivers imaginable. They were always punctual, efficient and truly professional. They had a great sense of humour and I always looked forward to my journey to the studio every day.
Running the enormous transport office for Harry Potter was a huge task and Dave ran it with skill and precision and in spite of the enormity of this operation, Dave always remained calm and personable.
Dave remained accessible throughout these filming years and his expertise was invaluable when it came to travelling to challenging locations around the country. Dave's drivers were the first people I met in the morning and the last people I would see in the evening, after a day's filming. I could not have been in better hands at any time during the Potter years.
I would recommend him wholeheartedly for any size of film, on any kind of location.
I can truly say that I have never had better, more efficient transportation.
