Crew On Call was established in 1992 when three associates Tony Harrison, Adrian Ward and Andy Laidler formed a small, Sydney based crewing company, Lock and Load International. Starting with just a few employees who serviced Rock 'n' Roll bands, the company grew into the largest crewing service in the entertainment industry in Australia, providing skilled and unskilled labour to Film Companies, Production Companies, Bands, Event Management Companies and the Corporate sector.
In just a few short years Crew On Call Australia was providing up to 200 crew for large events like The Rolling Stones "Voodoo Lounge" Tour and also U2 "Popmart" tour.
