Tammy Crupi

Parachute are constantly raising the bar with their energy, expertise and experience in every area of festival site and production management.

Robin Collings

Producer - Shangri La, Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Art

It is always a pleasure to work with Parachute International. From providing devoted, talented Crew to Site Managing the whole event, they are highly professional and supremely efficient. The crew are hard-working, skilled and very approachable, dealing with jobs big or small with the same level of competence and good humour. Coordinated and cooperative, Parachute are always determined to do a great job, on time, safely.

Fi Wells

Infrastructure Manager - Boomtown Fair

Parachute are the guys you call when you want it done well - first time, every time and with a smile. Their crew are always genial, thoughtful and hard-working, with a focus on the aesthetic import of the work they undertake which makes all the difference in events with a significant arts focus.

Emily O’Brien

Production Manager - Summersalt Festival

The Royal Croquet Club would not have been a success if it were not for our incredible team. Special mention to (Parachute International’s) Phil Bodey, Site Manager, but also to (The Parachute Crew) Maple, Brett, Travis & Joe for their tireless efforts they put into the build. For our first event in Melbourne we couldn’t be happier and we will certainly be working with them again as we begin our National tour.

Hayley Mitchell

Event Manager Operations & Logistics, The Royal Croquet Club

Parachute International crew provided a first class service, drawing from their experiences of working worldwide, they only recruit professional, experienced and friendly staff, whom place emphasis in delivering events on time, safely and within budget.

The Parachute crew are a pleasure to have on site and provide a solutions based work ethic in a calm, methodical and professional manner.

Gillian McCarrey

Operations Coordinator, White Night Melbourne 2015

The team at Parachute International helped me to raise the level of professionalism of our events by bringing experience and knowledge to the site build and event operations all while mainting a fun, excitable and inclusive attitude.

Rhett McLaren

Event Co-director - The Hills Are Alive & NYE on the HILL Festivals.

The guys at Parachute are always great to work with. They get the job done, roll their sleeves up and do it with a smile. Sure, they will never be Milan Super Models but they are excellent at what they do and bring a level of Professionalism to any team.

Jeff Moss

Event Manager - Rainbow Serpent Festival

Over the past 4 years, Parachute International have provided Mushroom Group with Event and Site Managers as well as general site crew for national touring events; Good Life Youth and Future Music Festivals. They have been an integral cog in the pre planning and execution of these events across Australia.

Delivering 7 large scale music events (hosting between 20,000 – 50,000 patrons each) across 2 weekends requires a team of sub contractors that are not only reliable and competent but can meet project management deadlines.

During times of high pressure, I have personally found their positive demeanour and can do attitude to be of great support.
