It was great to visit leading wine distributors North South Wines earlier this month at their new premises in Bicester. I met Kim Wilson and Tim Carlisle, along with representatives from The Wine and Spirit Trade Association.
My visit was particularly special as it was exactly ten years to the day since Kim founded North South Wines. Now employing a team of 27, this thriving business moved into the refurbished old Guard House at Bicester Heritage last year. I enjoyed hearing about Kim’s journey building the business, which has gone from strength to strength. We also had the opportunity to discuss some of the current pressures in the wine industry.
Kim is extremely community-minded and is proud to have secured her company B Corp status for its work on sustainability and transparency. North South Wines is a brilliant success story. We are lucky to have them in Bicester.
