New Ehrmanns move to Primrose Hill
Ehrmanns have vacated their offices in Highbury after 22 years and moved to new premises based in Primrose Hill , Regents Park.With this move has come a number of changes to the company including a new Management team of 4 headed up by Hugo Campbell as Managing Director, Kim Wilson as Director of Sales – Off Trade, Joy Edmondson as Director of Buying and Lenke Kiss as Financial Controller. Peter Dauthieu remains as Chairman.
Since beginning of 2010 Ehrmanns have acquired various new agencies which includes the Chilensis brand from VIA Wines which offers both branded and exclusive/own label with official launch planned for the LWTF. We have also taken on the prestige Cava agency of Juve y Camps which is targeted primarily for the premium independent on and off sector. Also new in the portfolio is Wineco based in Malborough, New Zealand who supply both own label and exclusive label brands and is the source for Ehrmanns’s own brand of Clearwater Bay. Further to this there are other new agency acquisitions from Italy including working with Stefano Girelli aswell as new Spanish agencies which will be reported on separately along with updates on new Fairtrade developments.
‘’This is an exciting period ahead for us in the ever changing and challenging world of the UK wine trade ‘’says Hugo Campbell. ‘’With the great new offices , dynamic new agency acquisitions alongside long-standing supplier relationships , a new Management team which between them hold over 50 years of experience in the wine trade, we now have the foundations to adapt and succeed in what will be tough but hopefully rewarding times ahead for our customers, our suppliers and ourselves. This cannot be achieved without a committed , professional and experienced team throughout the company which I feel we have ‘in spades’.
Keith Lay along with managing the Ehrmanns Independent Selection division is also a NAM for On trade. John Brimmer aswell as NAM is also heading up Ehrmanns Export division.
Ehrmanns portfolio includes wines from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Chile, Argentina, Bulgaria, Australia, New Zealand together with recent moves into France .
