Bruce Keebaugh is the director of The Big Group, one of Australia’s largest privately owned catering and event management companies.

The Big Group was established in 1990 by Bruce Keebaugh and his wife, Chyka Keebaugh. Together there inspiration was to bring a fresh and original approach to the Melbourne catering scene.

In the beginning the business evolved from a tiny back space in Bruce’s father’s office and cooking food took place in their parent’s kitchens.

Word quickly spread of their imaginative and precise approach, a major corporate giving the company the first taste of large scale event management. The event was at Southgate for 5000 guests. Bravado and talent for delivering exceptional planned and executed events held them in good stead; and looking back Bruce pinpoints that event as the launching pad for the business’ future success.

Today The Big Group is a bespoke hospitality and creative agency that arranges truly unique events both throughout Australia and overseas. Our client list forms the top 500 International corporations and the owners and directors of those companies. We also work with a wide range of governments, philanthropic agencies and also celebrities.

Imagination, perfectionism, experience, passion and thinking BIG are what The Big Group are renowned for, continually transforming the common place into the exception on every single occasion.
