The team at Complete Function Hire enjoys working with Melbourne wedding and event clients to help create memorable experiences. For us, delivering seamless events is all about meticulous planning and team work. On this month’s Who’s Who at Complete Function Hire, we get to know our industrious Operations Manager, Mitch Costin.
Working for Complete Function Hire for the last 8 years, Mitch knows the business inside and out. Mitch is a much-loved member of the team that we could not do without! Geelong supporter, passionate beer brewer and perfectionist, it is Mitch’s role to ensure our busy operations department runs like clockwork to provide the best possible service to our wedding and event clients.
How long have you been involved in the wedding and events industries?
I started work at Complete Function Hire during University holidays back in 2009, and continued to work casually throughout my University degree. After completing my degree, I decided I preferred the physical work and I loved the culture at Complete Function Hire. I have worked here ever since, working my way up to my current role as Operations Manager.
Most memorable event you have worked on at Complete Function Hire and why?
One of the most memorable events for me was a dinner event for 900 guests at the Royal Exhibition Buildings. This event was many years ago and at the time, it was one of the largest events I had been a part of – it was exhilarating to be a part of such a huge event at such an iconic Melbourne venue! We get to work at so many weird and wonderful Melbourne venues and locations which is one of the best parts of the job – no event is ever the same.
Favourite hobbies and past times?
Getting out of town to the family farm and going to the footy at the MCG. I also enjoy commercially brewing my own beer and working on our pub in Lavers Hill.
Favourite food and drink?
Definitely Tacos and beer. A match made in heaven!
Where did you grow up?
I grew up on a farm on The Great Ocean Road, between Apollo bay and The 12 Apostles.
What do you enjoy best about working at Complete Function Hire?
The relaxed friendly team culture and the flexible work environment. It is great to work hard for a company that really looks after its staff.
