AcknowledgementsÂ
the drinks business Awards 2007 would simply not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Throughout the last year these six companies have provided invaluable assistance, enabling us to facilitate the most extensive and exhaustive awards in the trade. Sincere gratitude to McGuigan Simeon, Symington Family Estates, Wines from Spain, Greenall’s, Halewood International and Chalie Richards & Co.
A special mention to Brintex, the organisers of the London International Wine & Spirits Fair, our hosts for the awards. We are grateful for Brintex’s continued support of the drinks business awards.
And finally, congratulations not just to our winners, but to each and every company and individual that entered this year’s awards. the drinks business offices were besieged by a record number of submissions this year, and virtually every one of them told the tale of an organisation going to extraordinary lengths to generate exceptional results. Thank you for your time and effort compiling the entries, we look forward to hearing from you again at the drinks business awards 2008.
And now, a brief word from our sponsors…
