Andrew's Story
My 33 years in the workforce includes 18 years as a full-time joiner, architectural fit-out specialist, and project manager, before I made a mid-life career change into hospitality. Starting from the bottom in Melbourne’s competitive cocktail scene in 2012, I worked my way up from a busser to an experienced bartender, and eventually into venue management by 2015.
This dual experience is our unique edge in hospitality fit-out and design. It is incredibly rare to have a team on your side that truly understands all three pillars of a successful build:
-
What looks great (Design aesthetics—and exactly how to build it)
-
What actually works (Hospitality operations)
-
What fits the budget (Financial reality)
Brad's Story
Hospitality isn't just what I do, Hospitality is what I love.
Through Champagne Hospitality, I work alongside venue owners, managers & teams to help hospitality businesses reach their full potential. Having spent close to 20 years in the industry, I've seen what works, what doesn't, and where opportunities often get missed.
My goal is simple; To provide practical advice, fresh ideas, and tailored strategies that drive real results. From Improving operations & service standards, to boosting profitability & team performance.
I'm here to help businesses grow with confidence, and create experiences guests keep coming back for.
