Templeton the Pembrokeshire drinks wholesaler joins Wilson Wines doubling the size of their wine division.
Following the announcement that Robin Wilson of Wilson Wines is joining Templeton Beer Wine & Spirit Co on March 1st as Templeton’s senior Wine Executive. Templeton are then on track to double the value of their wine division.
Robin and his wife Ann started Wilson Wines after Robin & his brother Neil completed the sale of James Williams the West Wales Wholesale & Pub Company to SA Brain & Co Ltd in 2002.
Over the past 18 years Robin & Ann have grown a loyal customer base on the principles of quality wines and strong customer relationships.
Templeton created by logistics specialist Lyndon Belt in 2008, came from the observations that customer demands for ‘just in time’ deliveries were on the rise & the sale of James Williams to SA Brain had left a void in the market place. Templeton ’s success from a standing start has been driven by their unbeatable customer service and the loyalty & support from their Global brewing partners.
Robin, a former Independent Wine Buyers Consortium (IWBC) director said:
“Following several conversations with Lyndon over the last 4 years we now feel the time is right. We are not planning on vanishing into retirement but excited with the opportunity to join the larger Team Templeton ”.
Lyndon said:
“We are delighted to bring Robin on board. Wine has proved the most difficult sector to sell to our customers. The expertise and knowledge of the exclusive IWBC range he will bring to the business will give our joint customer base confidence in the product and the availability of quality wines delivered daily to their cellar”.
Simultaneous to Robins arrival, Templeton are becoming members of the IWBC which gives exclusive access to many wine brands familiar across Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire & Ceredigion remembered from the James Williams wine portfolio.
