Why Crew Supply
Crew comes well-prepared, with full PPE and a set of commonly used tools, and can meet the skill level and responsibilities of their assigned tasks. Our policies and procedures ensure there’s a high degree of professionalism and consistency in crew and service.
Our Crew Leads will liaise with your staff on site to ensure that all staff perform their duties in a timely and safe manner. We prep our Crew Leads on the event’s goals and the specific details required for certain tasks. This will give you the time you need to focus on dealing with your client and managing your event or project.
At Crew Supply, we focus on building the right crew to match the technical specifications of your event or project. Our office team diligently reviews gear lists, production schedules, floor plans, and schematics so that we thoroughly understand the scope of work. This ensures the crew we select provides the best fit for executing your event or project.
We work in all of Toronto’s major event venues. We’re familiar with the venues’ layout, staff and the little details. Knowing the proper meeting points, correct loading docks, in-house contacts for technical support all come in handy for events with tight turnarounds. We can anticipate issues and help facilitate logistics, so there won’t be any impact on your event’s production schedule.
We recently had an event outside of the US, in Canada, which gave our team a slight handicap in terms of finding local crew. Crew Supply, of course, fulfilled this need on time and within budget. Their knowledge of venues and willingness to go above and beyond is really what sets them apart from their competitors. They are a true partner.
I have partnered with Crew Supply for approximately two years now. From the smallest install to the largest event, there is always delicate care taken to ensure that the best crew possible is properly placed into each scenario.
Finally, a company that delivers what it promises with no surprises. We need staff to be punctual, capable and polite. Crew Supply is a refreshing alternative to finding additional staff.
I have been depending on Crew Supply’s services for several years now and plan to continue to do so in the future. Personally, one of the important benefits services like Crew Supply has to offer is to take the edge off when labour is in high demand and the nature of the labour calls make it difficult to fulfill.
We hired Crew Supply as we needed an AV technician for a multi-day conference. Our technician, Amanda, was great! She was very attentive, proactive and thorough. Our account manager, Kareem, was a huge assistance in walking us through this process, and we would definitely recommend and use them again.
Getting staff for setups and strikes was a daunting task for us, we would often use family and friends, then one day a friend suggested Crew Supply. After meeting with their team and explaining our needs, we started using their crew at every setup, strike or operate job, and the best part is we can completely trust them to represent our company professionally with our clients.
We plan and execute the game day entertainment for the Toronto Wolfpack Rugby League Club, and have been very happy working with Crew Supply in our second season. Our sound technician ensures our game day music, announcements and half time show is enjoyed by thousands of passionate fans, in all types of weather.
We’ve been using Crew Supply for a little over a year now to augment our existing freelance labor pool. This arrangement has worked out great and we couldn’t be happier with the level of professional freelance crew that they have supplied. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their service to other venues or companies.
