Andrew Shaw, buying director for the Bibendum PLB Group said: “We are thrilled to be working with Coates & Seely. The quality of the wines is exceptional and they are competitively priced. Coates & Seely will be a perfect fit for our English wine portfolio and we are looking forward to hitting the ground running in the New Year.”

The addition of the English wine bolster’s Bibendum PLB’s offerings in that category and builds on what was a “fantastic year” for the company’s English portfolio.

This year Bibendum supplied the Wimbledon Tennis Championship with an English wine for the first time and British Airways for its first class customers.
