Testimonials
We’ve been working with Calibre for several years now and have always been impressed by the level of service and support provided by Bonnie, Chloe and the team. They are consistently friendly, helpful, and responsive — no request ever feels like too much trouble, they always get back to us promptly.
One of the things I value most is the care taken to allocate the right staff for each role. They have a solid understanding of our venue’s requirements and clearly communicate expectations to their team. When adjustments need to be made due to suitability, they handle it efficiently and thoughtfully.
The open and collaborative communication makes working with them an absolute breeze — particularly during our largest event days like Geelong Cup and Super Saturday. Their professionalism and reliability make a real difference, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other event professionals.
For nearly a decade, Calibre Workforce have provided Higher Mark with exceptional service in staffing solutions for both front and back of house hospitality roles. Their professionalism, flexibility and timely communication have resulted in a top tier team of hospitality superstars that have helped deliver outstanding customer service in both AFL Match Day and Non-Match Day events. We here at Higher Mark look forward to continuing this relationship and working together for the next decade to come!
I have always been very happy with the chefs you provide. Big shout out to David he is amazing and very good at his job, always love having him here at Torquay. He is happy and lovely to work with, and I love his music and his singing in the kitchen!
