Growth Strategy — Melbourne & Greater Melbourne Region
Where to Target Next
Based on the Laurent Bakery client profile — 17 Melbourne locations, centralised production, high casual labour demand — here is the priority target map for Compass Force's expansion.
Your Competitive Edge — Why Clients Should Switch
Industry Veterans
Food people placing food people — not generalist recruiters.
Personally Vetted
No algorithm. Human review of every single worker placed.
Not 30% Platforms
Lead with this — it's the opening line in every sales call.
Award Wages, On Time
Paying workers correctly drives reliability and retention.
Licensed & Insured (Vic)
Compliance removes risk for the client — a real decision factor.

Six Target Segments — In Priority Order
BOTTOM LINE — The highest-priority next targets are Baker Bleu, Lune Croissanterie, Hector's Bakery, Brunetti and Peter Rowland Catering. Hotels (Crown, Accor) are high-value but longer sales cycles. Food manufacturing is a volume play deserving its own separate campaign.
