“Pirates are the best technical crew I've ever had the pleasure of working with, so knowledgeable and fun to be around, even the hardest builds are a good laugh, when a challenge is confronted pirates will always find a quick, safe way to overcome whatever obstacle.
I'm always impressed by the high level of skill, knowledge and stamina pirates posses, even when faced with a problem no one else can see a solution to or would even consider possible.
I'm proud to be a pirate as are all pirates I know, even if they haven't worked with us in years, pirate is a mentality it never leaves you, whenever I met a really good technician or chippy on stage they've usually been or still are a pirate.
Pirate till I die.”

“Pirate Crew has a great team to work with everyone works hard pulls their weight and is up for a bit of a laugh. I've always found pirates to be helpful in teaching me things if I don't know something.
The jobs pirate Crew offers also although you to learn some skills and not just hump and lump flight cases all day unlike some other crewing companies. They are also great at pairing you with jobs based on your skill set.”

“As a freelancer, I have many different pools of income with various crews or agencies in and around London. My favourite to work for is Pirate Crew. In my 2 years with Pirate crew I’ve gained extensive experience in theatre crewing and worked extensively in the West End beyond. I love seeing how the different shows are assembled and the work that goes on behind the scenes. I can’t accentuate enough how nice it is getting paid every week without fail.”

“In my time with the company I have learned new skills and developed existing skills.
I enjoy working for Pirate Crew for a multitude of reasons; the camaraderie amongst fellow pirates and how we always push each other to strive for greatness, the ever changing working environments – be that in a theatre, a festival site or warehouse, it makes you adaptable to what ever challenges you face on a job.I really like that the managers/directors actually seem to care about the crew that work for them and are always happy to listen and help with any issues; be that personal or professional.
They’ll listen to your strengths and weaknesses and place you on jobs accordingly, occasionally putting you on a job/department which you maybe lack in, helping you learn & progress as an individual.”

“Out of the number of crewing companies I’ve worked for Pirate stand out as being my favoured employer by far. I really enjoy working in the theatre and increasing my skill set, opposed to only humping and bumping heavy gear, although I’m always happy to do that too.
Pirate have a positive relationship and communication with the crew, something lacking in the vast majority of other similar companies who show little or no respect to reliable, hardworking crew members. After working in several industries it has always baffled me how employers/management show no interest in retaining good reliable staff!
Pirate’s approach is different than this and that can only be of a benefit to us as employees, the company as a whole and ultimately the client.”

“I have worked for pirate crew now for nearly 6 years and I won’t work for another crewing company. They have looked after me and made me excel, which has made me feel safe in the knowledge that they have my back! There is no discrimination and they treat everyone as an equal!
