What We Do... and how we can help

Manages the day-to-day requirements of the company and oversees the general operational side of the business.  Keen golfer and carries on the family’s nautical interest in sailing. Definitely more Ainslie than Pugwash

Jon concentrates on the intricate processes of purchasing, shipping and portfolio development, the bedrock of Addison Wines.  A family man with a love of good food and wine, naturally! Can also be found blowing his whistle as a rugby referee during the season.

We are an independent family run merchant sourcing individual wines from dedicated, passionate wine makers.

Wife of David. Is a long serving sales executive, wife and mother who exudes charm, personality and a great knowledge of the portfolio. Loves good food and company, more a necessity than a bonus.

Mother to David & Jon. Lesley still has a very active role in the business overseeing the purse strings with elegant aplomb. Loves nothing more than a chilled white on the ocean wave.

Jon’s wife. A qualified media professional and passionate supporter of independent

businesses, also partial to an elegant Chardonnay or dry rosé.

A well-seasoned wine sales executive with firm roots in Worcestershire. Paul’s knowledge of the trade and what works best for his customers is exemplary, and his success is down to the service he gives. Still an active rugby player but injuries and after match frivolities are taking longer to repair.

It’s easier to list what Mark hasn’t

done in the drinks industry. Sales, operations, marketing and management, he brings a wealth of experience to Addison Wines.  Loves travel, and has been to most of the wine producing areas in Europe and South America. Lives in Shrewsbury with wife Jill and daft cockerpoo Ralph.

A permanent fixture within Addison Wines and has been with us so long we cannot remember when he started. He still turns up with alarming regularity and a cheeky smile so we’re all happy. Lawrence runs our warehousing and transport, which is a mammoth task.  A good job he loves walking, because he’s rarely at his desk.
