Liberty Wines Jobs

Who we are and what we believe

David Gleave MW founded Liberty Wines in March 1997, starting with a team of four including Tim Tweedy and Luciann Flynn, and the support of some top wine producers from Italy and Australia.

His aim was simple and hasn’t changed to this day:

David Gleave MW, Chairman

“I started this business determined to work with exceptional producers, whatever their size or location, with the belief that with hard work and by being stubbornly quality focused we would deliver the finest wines to our customers.”

Now in our 25th Anniversary year (on which you can read more here), with a staff of over 185 and an ever-evolving portfolio of over 375 of the most exciting producers in the wine world, we continue to offer exceptional quality and value at every level, providing our on-trade, independent off-trade and high street customers with the best service possible.

Join Us

Liberty Wines is a friendly, dynamic company that offers excellent opportunities for training and development within a great working environment.

Accredited by Investors in People, our staff is one of the key pillars of our business and their ability to thrive and progress is important to us. One of the fastest growing wine companies in the UK, we supply a wide range of premium wines to all sectors of the trade including restaurants, regional wine merchants, multiple grocers and specialists. This growth has been driven by the quality of our wines, our service and our people.

We also run a unique two-year Apprentice Scheme, which is London-based and includes experience of all aspects of Liberty Wines, sponsorship of the WSET Diploma Level 4, and vintages in both Europe and the southern hemisphere.

Employee wellbeing

It is important that everyone working for Liberty Wines feels happy and valued in the workplace. We are accredited by Investors in People and support our staff in a variety of ways. Employees and their families receive health and wellbeing support, and we offer subsidised fitness and language classes.

We support all staff in pursuing wine education qualifications through the WSET (of which we are a patron) and, where appropriate, the Institute of Masters of Wine. Our employees also have the opportunity to pursue role-specific professional qualifications.

Award-Winning Education

Our customers benefit from a range of wine training options from our award-winning team of educators.

As five-times winner of the IWC Wine Educator of the Year, we take wine education seriously. We believe well-informed staff have increased confidence and enthusiasm. They enjoy sharing their knowledge with guests or customers, which naturally leads to improved sales.

“I need to keep cracking on with the Liberty online training (which by the way is excellent) to ensure I keep up with colleagues!”

Ed Devenport, CEO, Incipio Group

As an Approved Programme Provider for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), we offer both Level 1 and 2 awards, and achieve pass rates above the global average.
