Portrait of Grant

Meet Grant

Grant brings more than 20 years of top-tier corporate client experience, leading the client floors, cafés and catering where partners meet their most important clients, across multiple firms and offices.

Behind that sits more than 30 years in premium hospitality, spanning island resorts, award-winning restaurants and international hotels. RMIT-trained in hospitality management and architectural drafting, he reads a fit-out plan as easily as a run sheet.

A food-safety supervisor, and independent: no supplier commissions, so every recommendation is based purely on the value to your firm.

Clients don’t remember the agenda. They remember how the room felt.
