The Wine Society boosts buying team
The Wine Society has boosted its team with the appointment of two new buyers, a former buyer from Lay & Wheeler and C&C Group’s former wine trading director.
Former Lay & Wheeler’s buyer Fiona Hayes will join the team in the next few weeks. Prior to joining Lay & Wheeler in July 2022, Hayes spent 13 years at Berry Bros. & Rudd, nine of which were spent curating selections for Fields, Morris & Verdin, before she joined the main BBR team as a senior buyer in 2017, responsible for buying Rhône, USA, Austria, Germany, Alsace, Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence and South West France. She started her wine career at Berkmann Wine Cellars in stock control, but is currently studying on the Master of Wine programme.
In a post on LinkedIn, Hayes said she was excited to be joining the Wine Society although she had “thoroughly enjoyed working for Lay & Wheeler”, where the team and producers made it “a great place to work”.
