Having studied French & Italian at university Garech, somewhat perversely, spent the first 5 years of his career in the wine trade marketing and selling South African wine.

A recent addition to the Agency team, Garech looks after an ever- growing band of independent retailers and wholesalers around the country. When not driving up down the nation’s motorways or explaining the pronunciation of his obscure name, he can often be found fruitlessly trying to remove cat hair from his clothes or indulging his passions for cooking, eating and drinking- though not necessarily in that order.

Garech lives in London with Sarah and two very hairy cats.

Lesley initially joined Alliance as a ‘temp’ in Sales Administration, but with 7 years previous experience in events organisation, she moved into the Purchasing and Marketing Department on a permanent basis with responsibility for the organisation of exhibitions, generic tastings, PR and website updates.

Outwith Alliance, Lesley can usually be found in the countryside, where she volunteers with conservation charities. She also enjoys travelling and following the PDO darts.
