A Message from the Category Sponsor
At Laithwaites, we have travelled from Bolton to Bordeaux to Barossa and everywhere in between since 1969.
We are family run business operating within the wine industry with over 750 employees in the UK.
Family is key, and by that we mean everyone involved at every point with Laithwaites. From our 450 wine families across the world whose passion for wines of genuine, handcrafted quality to our diligent warehouse staff in the Distribution Centre. We support, nurture, and protect like family.
If there is one thing that we love more than our wine, it’s our staff and customers. We are here to make sure that everyone involved enjoys their journey, from every contact, every case packed to every cork that’s popped.
We deliver to over ½ million customers per year and respond to a million contacts from calls, emails, and chats.
As well as our online and direct mail channels, we have 10 shops across England where customers can taste wine and have a good chat with a genuine wine nut. We love to get to know people whether through tastings, dinners, roadshows, or festivals. The goal is to bring our customers, wine producers and staff together for memorable experiences.
