Who We Are

From being a Company of traditional Wine Shippers during the 1970’s, by the early 1980’s it became clear to us that the cost of importing, holding stock and distributing throughout the UK was making our wines to the wholesale and retail trades far too expensive. We therefore commenced what at that time was an entirely new venture; acting as the UK Sales Office for those French Companies we represented and arranging for our customers to be invoiced direct from France. We also arranged shipment if required. Instead of making a profit on sales we simply got paid by our French friends on our selling results. Cost prices to our customers came down dramatically and needless to say, remain extremely competitive.

Founded many moons ago by Laurence Hayward, the Partnership is now managed by his sons Austin and Matthew Hayward. Operating out of our Tunbridge Wells office, they have over fifty five years' experience between them of working for the family business.
