Dayne Gauntlett
Principal & Director of Design
June, 1994
I graduated from the University of Florida in 1998 with a degree in Finance and immediately joined my family’s business, Uni-Source. I started in inside sales, where I quickly developed a strong knowledge of the foodservice and hospitality equipment industry.
Within a few years, I recognized the need to better assist customers with space planning so equipment layouts would be both functional and properly integrated into the building design. This led me to establish Uni-Source’s Design Department, which today includes several designers and project team members.
To support this initiative, I taught myself AutoCAD and began producing increasingly detailed and precise layouts. Over time, our design services expanded to include mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) information, resulting in a comprehensive Foodservice and Laundry Design Package.
Today, the design department is one of three core divisions within Uni-Source that I oversee. In addition, I help manage the company’s sister operations in Turks & Caicos, Grenada, and St. Vincent.
