About Us
Our Team
Sandy Burke - Owner
People, compliance, and getting the job done right are the foundations Sandy has built her career on.
With extensive experience managing large labour hire workforces across warehousing, manufacturing, and food production, Sandy founded BC People to deliver something simple: reliable people, clear processes, and no shortcuts.
Sandy has spent years in senior branch management roles leading teams, supporting clients through operational challenges, and ensuring every placement meets safety, award, and legislative requirements. She understands the pressure businesses operate under and how critical it is to have workers you can trust on site.
Her approach is hands-on, practical, and relationship-focused. Strong compliance and safety sit at the core, supported by clear communication, accountability, and respect for both clients and workers. Sandy believes labour hire works best when expectations are clear and people are properly supported.
If you’re looking for labour hire that feels like a partnership — not a transaction — BC People is built to support you.

Why BC People?
Because labour hire only works when people and process are taken seriously.
BC People was created to offer a better labour hire experience — for both clients and workers. We know the industry, we know the pressure on sites, and we know that cutting corners always costs more in the long run.
We understand operations
BC People is led by someone who has managed large labour hire workforces on the ground. We understand rostering challenges, tight deadlines, safety requirements, and the reality of running busy sites. That experience shapes everything we do.
We’re hands-on
We stay close to our clients and our workers. From inductions to site support and issue resolution, we don’t disappear once people are placed. Clear communication and accountability are standard.
We respect workers
Workers who feel supported, inducted properly, and treated with respect perform better. We set clear expectations, provide ongoing support, and build a workforce clients can rely on.
We build long-term partnerships
BC People isn’t about quick fills or short-term wins. We work with clients who value reliability, transparency, and a labour hire partner who understands the bigger picture.
Reliable labour hire. Done properly.
