Richard Nunn joins Champagnes & Châteaux as key account manager
Wine distributor Champagnes & Châteaux UK has announced the appointment of Richard Nunn as off-trade key account manager – a newly-created role at the London-based business.
Nunn, who has worked in the wine industry since 1984, joins Champagnes & Châteaux UK after 35 years with Louis Latour Agencies – the UK distributor for Maison Louis Latour, which was wound up in September following the decision by the Burgundy house to switch its UK distribution to John E Fells.
In his previous role, Nunn worked on the UK board of Louis Latour, focusing on national accounts, key independent retailers and wholesale accounts. In the newly created role of off-key trade account manager, Nunn will focus on the distribution of wines and Champagnes within the Champagnes & Châteaux UK portfolio, with a focus on placing them into UK independents, prestige retailers and regional wholesalers.
Nunn commented: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Champagnes & Châteaux and look forward to developing the distribution of such an excellent portfolio of wines across the independent retail trade in the UK.”
