Alastair is a Foodservice Designer at Macintosh, working with clients and project teams to develop practical, well-planned catering facilities.

His role is to turn a client’s requirements into designs that work in practice. From kitchen layouts and equipment selection to storage, preparation and service areas, he considers how each part of the operation fits together and how staff will move through the space during a busy working day.

Alastair works alongside the wider Macintosh team to ensure that designs reflect both the operational brief and the constraints of the building. He considers the relationship between equipment, available space and building services, helping to coordinate foodservice requirements with architects, engineers and other members of the design team.

Whether working on a new facility or the refurbishment of an existing kitchen, Alastair understands that a successful design needs to do more than look good on a drawing. 

It must be safe, efficient and suited to the people who use it.

His thoughtful and collaborative approach helps clients make the most of their available space and develop facilities that support their catering operation.
