4 MAJOR EVENTS. 4 WEEKS. 2 PEOPLE BEHIND THE BUSINESS. 🔥
I don’t think we’ve actually stopped long enough to realise what we’ve just done.
Reclaimed Fire is owned and run by me and Davey.
There’s no head office behind us.
No sales department.
No procurement team.
No event managers.
No marketing department.
It’s us.
And over the last four weeks, our little family business has delivered four major events — the kind of workload, logistics and turnaround that would challenge some of the biggest corporate catering companies in the country.
And I’m bloody proud of that.
But there’s something really important we want to say…
We may own Reclaimed Fire, but there is absolutely NO WAY the two of us achieved this alone.
Our staff have been incredible.
Not just people who turn up for a shift.
People who stay late. Jump in. Solve problems. Carry things they probably shouldn’t have agreed to carry 😂. Work ridiculous hours. Care about the food. Care about the guests. And care about Reclaimed Fire as though a little bit of it belongs to them too.
That is priceless.
And our family. ❤️ While people see us travelling around the country cooking at these incredible events, there are people at home making sure our three girls are happy, fed, collected, entertained and loved.
They deal with our disappearing acts, the late-night calls, the last-minute changes and the inevitable “we’re going to be later than we thought…” message.
They make this possible.
And then there are the businesses behind the scenes.
The farmers. Producers. Suppliers. Venues. Hire companies. Wholesalers. Brands. Other independents.
The people who answer the phone when we say:
“Slightly random question… can you get us this by tomorrow?” 😂
You know who you are.
