Freixenet va por el mercado de espumosos en Reino Unido

Freixenet y Copestick Murray formarán una nueva compañía que verá la luz en enero del 2019.

La nueva compañía será llamada Freixenet-Copestick y será lidereada por Damian Clarke y Robin Copestick; directores managers de Freixenet UK y Copestick Murray respectivamente.

Freixenet-Copestick espera tener un alcance de £100 million en 2019 y convertirse en el provedor más grande de espumosos en UK. La línea de venta estará basada en sus marcas centrales: Freixenet, las series ‘i heart Wines’ y Mionetto

Damian Clarke comentó: “It’s great to have this opportunity to join with another rapidly growing UK wine business. Copestick Murray has complementary skills to Freixenet but shares our approach of putting the consumer at the heart of what we do. Our combined business will be a leader in the Sparkling Wine category and with the resources and backing of Henkell and Freixenet we are well placed to continue driving category growth.”

Robin Copestick añadió: “I am incredibly excited and honoured to be working with the Freixenet brand again. My first job in London was selling Cordon Negro for Moreno Wines in the 1980’s so my life has now gone full circle. The Freixenet brand and the excellence of the Freixenet team will be a great addition to what we have achieved at Copestick Murray. The future is looking very bright"
