100%"There's a real reason Auckland Councils' Music in Parks delivers its series with The Rock Factory team year after year- they can't be beaten! they offer the best service, value and production equipment at the prices they charge and even if they charged 50% more they would still be the clear front runner. They are also maybe the most used production company for audio and staging across the council events team now. Having toured globally and worked in the live industry for 20+ years I set my… standards high and the team have always delivered time after time. It's been a real treat working on events with their team who make the shows such fun. skills are one thing but attitude is an essential factor when working in close quarters in the tension of a large live event and the Rock factory team can roll with the best of them. They are also one of the companies with the most diverse crew and have the best attitude to encouraging more women and non-binary into the events industry."Rating by: Gavin | Rating posted: 1st Mar, 2022 | Contact: Michelle | Job date: Mar, 2022Gavin•1st Mar, 2022•More details…

She and her team were efficient, collaborative, great listeners. Set up and tear down were a breeze.

Michelle is friendly, efficient and knows her stuff. She is always fun and willing to help solve any problems.
