Summary

I have worked in various sized wineries in production, management and cellar door sales. Incorporating quality, work ethic and appreciation for the team surrounding me I believe that Pipers Brook Vineyard is a company I can excel and grow within. With experience working under significant pressure, training staff, organising workflow both in the cellar and for packaging while working on deadlines I am excited at the prospect of Production and Logistics/ Safety manager position.
