About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to bring bespoke culinary and resident experiences to village life in an authentic, personable and impactful way.

Our solutions are end-to-end and hyper tailored. With specialist service delivery across every element of village management, our tight-knit teams work collaboratively with clients and residents alike to maximise the value we can bring to day-to-day experiences.

We pride ourselves on our personable and flexible service model. We take the time to get to know everyone on site — from senior managers to service staff — and ensure we understand each village’s bespoke needs and intricacies to shape a highly adaptable suite of services from a single expert point of contact.

All of our services are delivered through a resident-centric lens. From our simple food done well to accommodation cleaning and maintenance, their experience underpins it all. Get in touch to find out more.

Our Leadership

We employ teams that care about our mission. Attitude and value alignment are considered before experience and qualifications, and all our people are passionate about making a difference to village experiences, not just completing a shift.

Our History

28 Villages was founded in 2018 with a simple focus; if we do an outstanding job at the sites we have, we will build a reputation that allows our business to grow organically.

Initially providing catering and hospitality services for smaller construction crews, through our exceptional efforts we grew into the operational camp space, and now operate in 9 remote mining villages catering for 100 mining residents every day.
