2011
London: Where it all began. Having left the world of financial derivatives, joining the fine wine industry we soon created the ‘Perfect Price Model’ recognizing the investment opportunity in the market. By normalizing the prices we were able to spot imperfections and were a market leader at advancing investment within the asset class.
2012
Hong Kong: Where it evolved – moved to Hong Kong to launch a new wine merchant, Madison Wine, with 33,000 perfectly procured bottles. Having built a retail space, warehouse and logistics system we soon found ourselves as the leading wine merchant in Hong Kong. This is where our network really grew.
2015
Hong Kong : Madison Wine listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange raising HK$56.3 million (approximately US$7.2 million). This was thanks to our aggressive, innovative and successful trading style that enabled Madison to grow to a turnover of HK$100 million by the end of 2015 – growth previously unheard of in the wine industry.
2017
Hong Kong: Responsible for building the first ever full set of Ichiro's Malt Card Series as featured in Forbes Magazine. Sold at Sothebys Hong Kong.
2018
Hong Kong : Supplied the Collection of DRC Methuselahs that broke Sotheby's retail record. Sold by Sotheby's retail in Hong Kong for US$1.5 million – a new world record, we spent over a year building the deal ensuring the provenance was, of course, perfect.
2020
London: Helped launch and became the exclusive supplier for a new UK and Singapore based investment firm. Within 4 years this has grown to have over GBP10 million under management.
