Bio
Tomasz Goszczyk
Worked with Robert as his client for 8 years. His knowledge and expertise proved extremely useful and helped us building some of the most successful wine offerings. Robert is honest, reliable and understanding of both sides of business account manager. Always helpful and always available. Many times went out of his way to help out even if outside of working hours. Hope to be able to work with Robert again in the future.
Adam Holden
Easily one of the most conscientious and loyal people it has ever been my pleasure to work with. Robert and I worked together for over 8 years. He taught me a great deal and we developed a highly complementary working relationship delivering significant commercial results. I know him as a stoic and genuine individual, with both commercial and branding knowledge and an ability to develop meaningful partnerships and sales opportunities through relationship building. His extensive experience in the wine industry has inevitably endowed him with a rich knowledge of wine in both the classic fine wine and the more commercially focussed arenas. I regret that I am no longer working with Robert and recommend him enthusiastically.
