Our vision is to be the leading independent wine merchant in the UK. We have an independent, family ethos with a love of wine, a focus on quality and a commitment to doing right by our customers. To achieve this, we need great people who give welcoming, professional service.
Extensive knowledge among our staff – and on our website and in print – is essential, so we place enormous emphasis on training and development. All team members are encouraged to take their Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) exams.
Opportunities arise across all departments and branches from time to time, most commonly in our busy Cellars Shop within our distinctive black-and-white headquarters in Shrewsbury, and at our distribution depot in Welshpool.
