Crawford Industries Pty Ltd. commenced business in May 1974 when involved in residential property maintenance and development. During the credit squeeze of 1974 work dried up and we were lucky to be introduced to the Hilton Hotel chain who gave us work to complete on their Sydney Hotel and there after ongoing fit out works. This all lead to bigger and better things and the Company worked for major Companies such as AMP carrying out internal fit out works whilst managing to redevelop a few idle properties in Pyrmont where our factory was located.
In 1984 a union official gave us an ultimatum to join up or ship out so we chose to sell the operating business and collect buildings as they don't join unions, want holiday loadings and they work for you every day of the week!
This move left time for our consulting business to commence and we have assisted many major Companies and their Directors in making considered choices for their property requirements ever since. One of these clients asked us to assist with the management decisions involving their Medical Day Surgery business during the 1980s and we are still assisting them in their multi million dollar business today. Our experience in the restaurant and catering field dates back to 1981 when we partnered in the operation of a 200 seat coffee shop in the centre of Sydney. From there we grew to assist many operators over the years with their business problems and real estate choices.
Other than the above we have recently been involved assisting in Catering, Food Manufacture and Production, Commercial and Industrial Real Estate Investment, together with a very successful operator in the Waste Water Treatment and associated areas.
