Calvin is head of Australian operations for Brewdog - a Scottish craft beer company that over the past 15 years has expanded across the UK, EU, US and now Australia.
Calvin has pulled off the incredible feat of opening three new venues over just a few months across the east coast of Australia - in Brisbane's central party hub of Fortitude Valley, Pentridge Prison in Melbourne and in Sydney's South Eveleigh. These venues join the first Aussie Brewdog and home of one of its four global brewery operations that opened in Brisbane at the end of 2019.
In this episode:
- Calvin shares how he worked his way up from a Brewdog bartender through almost every venue position to now head up the Australian operations
- Talks about how he’s adapted a global business to Australia’s high-wage environment - and why that’s a good thing
- Reveals the key ingredients for staff engagement and how to create culture within a team
- And shares his favourite recipe for dandan noodles
We’ve got the ingredients that’ll help your business grow.
