Have a look at what they say about working with us:
“Barry is an incredible employer and champion of growth for every member of his staff. A true believer in the best of people, I was always welcomed by him to ask questions, take more responsibility, and was constantly challenged and encouraged to grow.
Barry is not just a boss, he’s a true leader. If you give 100%, Barry sees that and volleys back with 110%. Working for Barry was the first time I ever felt free to do my best, without fear or frustration of micro-management. He championed for my development, and today I wouldn’t be where or who I am if it weren’t for him. Working for him I was offered coaching, training, and opportunities unlike anything previous to my professional experience. Although I no longer work with him, I am pleased to say I still refer to him as my “boss”. A great captain is extremely hard to find, and he is certainly one of the best.”
“Barry Cales is an intelligent leader who is an expert at motivating and creating a strong, passionate team that delivers results. He never sits idol as a general manager, as he constantly strives for the best from his management team, staff, sales, and his P&L. In addition, Barry is a warm and kind person that actually cares about people. His personal attributes and skillful management tactics are far superior than most GM’s. Any company would be extremely fortunate to have such an asset on their team. He would be stellar in any leadership role and would take the company to the next level of success. Barry won global general manager of the year (out of 146 units) in 2012, because he is simply the best.”
“I’ve worked directly with Barry all thru 2000-2008…Awesome business sense, knows people and how to make them fit as a team,great promoter for corporations. I’ve worked with many professionals on many different levels and Barry tops them all !
