Are you an experienced theatre or event technician looking for your next opportunity?
We’re committed to delivering exceptional service to every client and project — and that starts with investing in our people. We actively support every crew member we work with, helping you develop your skills, grow your experience, and reach your full potential.
We offer training tailored to your existing skill set and availability. And if there’s a specific area you’d like to develop — one that benefits both you and the company — we’re always open to the conversation.
Your progression matters to us. Our work spans the entire entertainment industry, including theatre, live events, outdoor productions, corporate events, and conferences — and everything in between.
We encourage versatility and aim to build flexible technicians who can confidently work across multiple sectors. That said, if you have a preferred specialism, we’re happy to support you in focusing on that area. All crew members work with us on a freelance basis, giving you the freedom and flexibility to choose when and where you work.
If you’re not already registered as self-employed, we can guide you through the process and help you get set up.
If you’re reliable, skilled, and passionate about what you do, we’d love to hear from you.
We had always known there was a better way and in 2017 our vision came to fruition with First Call making it's crewing debut, touring a well loved children's show in an inflatable dome! Providing skilled technicians is the backbone of our business, which over the years has become recognised throughout the industry.
With a wealth of experience in theatre carpentry, naturally we progressed to opening our scenery workshop in 2019 which has continued to grow, our current home being a 10,000 sqft workshop. Our dedication to evolving and growing with the right team means we are able to complete all aspects of scenery production and fabrication in house.
We're proud to offer second to none customer service, from initial enquiry we are on hand for support.
Despite our growth, we still remain true to our roots with fairness and equality at the heart of all we do.
We're proud to offer an all-in-one solution to the Theatre and Entertainment industry.
By partnering with us, we aim to save you time and money, with ultimate peace of mind and reassurance your projects are in safe hands.
Lloyd Thomas, Production Manager
"I have used First Call for various productions this year to provide both production carpenters and general crew. They have always provided professional, skilled and willing individuals. They are flexible regarding late changes and moving goalposts that production managers so often have to contend with."
Dan Cameron, TBA
"We've worked with First Call at Silverstone for a number of years now, they are reliable, flexible, skilled and considered solution. The team on site become an extension of our construction teams and are an essential local resource."
Rob Haworth, Production Manager
"The biggest difference between First Call and the 'others' is the ability of their teams to take a brief and just get on with it. First Call are without a doubt an extension of our own team and critical to the success of our projects when the show really must go on..."
