Why London venues & productions choose Pirate Crew

London is the busiest stage in the world, and we’ve earned our place in it. Our crew know what it takes to work in the capital — the tight get-in windows at West End houses, restricted access, listed buildings and early calls — and they turn up ready for all of it. From the National Theatre and the Southbank Centre to the Royal Albert Hall and the West End, producers across London rely on us for crew who already know the drill.

During our years of operation Pirate Crew has built a reputation of excellence which has been founded on our vast experience, a dedication to customer service and the ability to understand our clients’ expectations.

We work tirelessly to get the job done right and seek to send you only like minded people on the day. Our clients enjoy a personal relationship and a positive approach to all requests both from the office staff and the guys on the ground.

Our clients rely on us to be different. We don’t just provide people, we work tirelessly to curate the perfect teams based on the job requirements – in both skills and attitude. We aim for maximum satisfaction on every job small or large.

We quote everything up front with no hidden costs, scale from a single specialist to a full team, and only send people we’d be happy to stand alongside ourselves.

Pirate crew are easy to work with, because they care about the projects they are working on. I would highly recommend Pirate Crew for both large and small jobs, both for theatre work and outdoor events.

Pat MolonyProduction Manager

I was so impressed. All of the guys were punctual, helpful, friendly and hardworking. I knew that it was a bit of an ugly one as it was an awkward building with lots of stairs, but they all just mucked in and got on with it. Thanks so much
