Logistics ... keeping the wheels turning
Champion power-lifter, our resident City-Shark, and Celine's right-hand-man. There isn't a road in London Kamil doesn't know and the number of deliveries he can manage in a day defies all mathematics. He's a serious white Burgundy fan, especially those of David Moret.

Kamil Pawelec
Transport Manager
Baby-faced Peter is a daily injection of smiles in the office at the end of his wine run. His favourite thing is being told he's looking strong and his second favourite thing is wine from Volnay. When he's not lifting boxes of wine, he can be found lifting weights in the gym.

Peter Komuda
Vintner Van Man
Affectionately known as ‘mini-Greg’ (despite being well over 6 foot) Mat is similarly strong, handy, obsessed with cars, and faultlessly reliable. He’s also got a softer side and can sometimes be spotted buying pink fizz for the missus. (And no, we can't pronounce his surname either!)
