WHO WE ARE

Sangster Design Group is an independent consulting organisation offering high quality design and management services to both food and beverage industries as well as the commercial laundry sector. Formed over 25 years ago, Sangster Design Group has built a high reputation and is now considered one of Australia’s leading design consultancy groups in the food and beverage sector with active projects in Australia and around the world.

​

Sangster Design Group offers extensive in-house skills and experience of a General Manager (Hospitality), Executive Chef, Food and Beverage Manager, technical refrigeration and architectural draft team.  Every client from small to large projects has access to these resources.

​

We offer design solutions to maximise food and beverage spaces. A critical part of our design approach is to consider the ongoing operating costs and maintenance. This is to assist the client in not only managing up front development costs, but also on effectively managing on-going running costs – something regularly over looked in design and building programs.

​

Using the best available equipment, technology and experience, we are passionately committed to work closely with each client to ensure operational needs are met within agreed budgets. This is reflected in our comprehensive and tailored approach given to each project.

​

Cutting corners is rarely the quickest way to achieve your goal. We have an excellent team ready to assist.
