About us & the team

Carlos has almost two decades experience in the buying and selling of fine wine and is now employing this knowledge and experience to help build Brunswick into an internationally recognised wine and spirit business. As well as making fine use of his little black book of personal contacts, Carlos also looks after the domestic and international trade side of the business, enjoys travelling to meet both customers and suppliers, and has been instrumental in developing the company’s structure. Carlos’s favourite wine regions are classic French and Italian, in particular Burgundy (especially white), Piedmont and Bordeaux, though recently he has developed a serious weakness for dry Sherry.

Jamie has been in the fine wine business since 1989 and has held senior positions at some of London’s leading wine companies. Possessing an extraordinary network of UK and international connections, we set great store by his ability to source well-priced parcels and advise on collections and investment portfolios. Jamie’s main role is looking after both established and start-up private collectors, helping them to either to build or rationalise their collections. He often travels to Asia and other locations for face-to-face meetings to properly understand each individual’s needs. A Europhile to the bone, Jamie is at his happiest talking, tasting and drinking from the great European wine regions, tends to prefer red over white, and has a lifelong passion for whisky.

Kenny is now approaching his third decade in the business. His enthusiasm and love for the finer things in life, combined with a noted palate, sees him spearhead the company’s tasting activities. Frequently found exercising said palate in the vineyards of Burgundy, Bordeaux and (increasingly) Piemonte, he has built up a loyal and ever-expanding network of customers and suppliers, who value his considered opinion on wines and the market. Kenny’s lifelong passion is White Burgundy, one he punctuates with a burgeoning German Riesling private collection.

Honorine joined the business in 2017 and runs our operations. Overseeing stock management and accounts, she draws on her experience of having worked for an internationally recognised office management company. Despite originating from Alsace, Honorine is a recent convert to the wine industry, and is furiously studying for her WSET exams. She is fast developing a taste for Champagne, Burgundy and, dare we say it, the wines of Alsace.

Toby Another recent convert to the wine industry, Toby has spent the majority of his career working in retail, specialising in stock management and developing systems dedicated to improving customer experience. Toby joined in 2018, and relishes his role to deliver the best customer service. In his spare time, he likes to spend as much time outdoors, walking his dog and visiting live music venues, past times now supplemented by a higher appreciation of wine and spirits He has a particular liking for Sauternes and Port, but it is (fervently) hoped by his colleagues that his tastes will broaden in time.
