Marketing
This team's work is much broader than the name may imply. It encompasses imputing all the supplier lists that we receive into WineDesk for the brokers to have something to sell! Customer offers, advertising, website management and data analysis are included in our daily activities as well as social media management. To offer the best experiences that we can to our customers, we also spend time organising some very special dinners, masterclasses and trips to our favourite wine regions, to offer a complete experience to customers, an immersion in this fascinating world of wine.

Finance & Operations Team
The secret of a successful business can often lie as much with the people the customer doesn’t see as with the sales team, and it is no different at F+R. Once deals are completed, there are condition reports to be checked, wines to be shipped, and accounts to pay, not to mention the bottling instructions and administration involved in en primeur orders. Our strong, professional support team ensures that from placing the order to receiving the wine, everything runs smoothly. Their skill and efficiency allows the sales team to fulfil their promises, and makes for satisfied customers who are keen to return to F+R.
