FINE WINE WORKS LTD
Vacancy Description
What you will be doing:
1. You will be assisting in the “hunting” and sourcing often very fine and rare wines and spirits.
2. Assisting in the preparation of quotations and proposals to clients.
3. You will be involved in the remote support of the logistics operations in France.
4. Helping create purchase orders and new product input on our Sage 50 system.
5. Liaising with suppliers to ensure smooth deliveries to end clients.
What we are looking for:
1. You’ll have enthusiasm to learn more about this very niche side of the wine industry. In-house training for WSET Level 1 & 2 would be provided.
2. The ability to work flexibly – there is some seasonality with the main trading period being May – October.
3. Top notch written and verbal communication skills and strong organizational abilities with meticulous attention to detail, adaptability and composure under pressure.
4. Very good IT skills including, specifically, Microsoft Office. Social media savvy would be a big positive.
5. Complete fluency in written and spoken English – some French could be useful, but not a deal breaker.
6. A full UK driving licence and vehicle to manage the hybrid “working from home” and meetings at the North Yorkshire office is essential due to our remote location. There would likely be some occasional travel to France and other yachting “hot spots”.
For the right candidate, there will be a competitive remuneration package and opportunities for growth and professional development.

Vacancy Title: Commercial & Admin Assistant Apprentice
Employer Description
FWW is a specialist Wine & Spirit supplier to the superyacht industry in the Mediterranean. Now in our 16th year, FWW is also a WSET Approved Programme Provider, offering WSET Level 1 & 2 to mostly, but not exclusively, crew and others involved in the yachting sector in France, Spain and elsewhere in Europe as required. The WSET Wine qualifications are considered a “must have” on crew cv’s as yacht owners, management companies and brokers demand and expect very high standards from their personnel. FWW holds some stocks of wines in France for distribution and delivery in all of the major yachting ports in the Med. For wine supply, FWW mostly works using a very bespoke, tailor-made wine sourcing approach – finding the wines these HNW individuals (superyacht owners, charter guests and private clients) actually want, rather than making them take only what’s in stock!
