Services
Lion is one of Australasia's leading beverage companies, producing and distributing a diverse portfolio of beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. With a strong focus on innovation, sustainability and consumer engagement, Lion operates across Australia and New Zealand and employs thousands of people across manufacturing, sales and corporate functions.
PCG partnered with Lion to deliver a major workplace transformation at Sydney Olympic Park, supporting the consolidation of newly formed business units into a single high-performance workplace for approximately 800 employees. Providing tenant representation, workplace strategy, interior design and project management services, PCG helped identify, secure and deliver a workplace environment that fostered collaboration, improved operational efficiency, and supported Lion's long-term business objectives.
Kirin Holding Company purchased Lion Nathan and wished to merge them with their pre-established business National Foods. This included the integration of their ‘Dairy & Drinks’ and ‘Beer, Wine & Soft Drinks’ divisions. PCG were appointed to assist Lion in locating, designing and creating a new workplace to accommodate the newly-formed departments, comprising some 800 employees. The project was driven by Lion’s integration program. It was critical that stage one, accommodation for their IT and Lion Business Services departments was complete in 6 months, due to expiring leases in their current workplaces. Stage two, the construction and fit out of the remaining departments, would overlap the stage one works, yet still be completed within a tight 5-month deadline.
PCG developed and delivered an integrated workplace strategy that supported the consolidation of Lion's newly merged business divisions while meeting an accelerated, multi-stage delivery programme. Through strategic property advisory, workplace planning, interior architecture and project management, PCG coordinated overlapping project stages to minimise business disruption, creating a highly collaborative workplace that reflected Lion's culture, strengthened team integration and supported future organisational growth.












The resulting workplace created flexible, collaborative work settings for more than 100 employees while celebrating Lion’s Western Australian brewing heritage.The Lion project at 5 Murray Rose Place won the MBA Excellence in Construction Award and was runner up in the Property Council Innovation and Excellence Awards for the Best Workplace Project.

"The Sydney Olympic Park project has been so successful that it has set a benchmark for our other projects and our NZ team are about to move into a kiwi version of this building. PCG did an excellent job, working to a fixed budget, which we came in under. They delivered a work space we are all very proud of. We wanted the experience of inviting a customer or a supplier to Sydney Olympic Park to be akin to inviting someone to our home. It’s an environment that showcases Lion’s brands and values, and that was the brief to PCG. It was also vital that the office encouraged collaboration and team work, and became a part of our employee value proposition. With PCG’s guidance, we have achieved that."
