An expert problem solver who thrives on challenges, Kieran is always available to consult and troubleshoot—never without his phone and always ready to tackle the next big project.

After a year in the film industry working on Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, Kieran founded CATO Location Services in 2012. Recognising a gap in the market for crew who truly understood the intricacies of film production, he built CATO to provide premium support to the Film, TV, and Events industries. Since then, CATO has grown into Sydney’s largest location services company, supporting Australia’s biggest productions and events, including City of Sydney NYE, the Mad Max franchise, and Sydney WorldPride Pride March.

CATO’s expansion has been both strategic and impactful. The acquisition of Honeywagons—Australia’s leading makeup and wardrobe truck brand—further solidified its position as an industry leader. Kieran also spearheaded the creation of O MY POD, a premium range of green room container pods designed for Film, TV, and Events. In 2020, CATO extended its reach to Queensland, providing traffic management, safety, production vehicles, and unit support across the region.

In 2021, CATO became certified Carbon Neutral through Climate Active Australia, setting an industry benchmark in sustainability.

Kieran’s expertise extends beyond Australia. In 2022, he spent over two months in Bhutan, consulting on traffic, unit, and logistics for National Geographic’s Pole to Pole with Will Smith. This collaboration with Nutopia UK followed CATO’s previous work on Limitless with Chris Hemsworth.

In 2023, CATO took home the SPA Award for the Services and Facilities Business of the Year award.

In 2024, Kieran was appointed as one of the inaugural board directors for Screen Careers, further cementing his influence in the industry.
