“I was delighted to be appointed as Sales Manager for Lay & Wheeler in December 2012, having previously worked in the fine wine trade in London, within both sales and management.
Whilst studying Law at Nottingham University, I joined the wine tasting society and found myself engrossed and fascinated by wine as both a product and as a partner to good food. This interest, however, did not divert me from the legal path and I spent six years working in property law and investment, before deciding that a career in wine would ultimately be more fulfilling. Having joined the trade, I passed the Advanced WSET exams in early 2009 and continued with my wine studies, completing the Diploma course – during which I was awarded a scholarship by the Freixenet Group. This afforded me the amazing opportunity to travel around three major Spanish wine producing regions and build a good understanding of the Spanish wine trade.
Outside work, I enjoy tasting and collecting wine, composing music on my steel string guitar and whipping up a storm in the kitchen. I enjoy watching most sports, play tennis and go running to (try and) keep fit. I have recently moved back to East Anglia and am relishing the opportunity to work with the exceptionally talented and knowledgeable team at Lay & Wheeler.”
