Steve developed a keen interest in wine from a young age and can still remember falling in love with red wine at the tender age of 18 on a family holiday in Cannes. With an early career background in the finance sector, Steve finally took the plunge and decided to set up his own fine wine merchant back in 2012 with nothing more than a few cases of Bordeaux and a WSET Level 3 certification to his name.
Nick joined Elite Wine and Whisky ltd in 2013 as an investment director. Having previously traded fine wine and being an avid wine collector, his knowledge and confidence provided him with the right tools to become an integral part of the team quickly. Nick also has a history of asset management and a brief spell in the city trading CFD’s. With qualifications in business and fine wine he naturally began to develop as a senior figure in the company and in 2016 he became managing partner. Day to day, Nick oversees purchases, operations and heads up the company’s global strategies.
Outside of the office Nick can be found spending time with his wife and children. He is also a huge football fan supporting West Ham United.
