导读:Garçon Wines recently appointed Angela Mount, a former Somerfield wine buyer, as its supermarket advisor in the UK. The company aims to maximize space savings and unlock the potential of flat bottles with her expertise. Throughout her career, Mount has worked exclusively in the wine industry and is well-known for her extensive retail experience. She was praised for revolutionizing wine shopping at Somerfield, where she once made headlines when her employer insured her taste buds for £1 million.
After leaving Somerfield, Mount took on roles as a wine consultant, writer, and presenter while collaborating with independent individuals and restaurants. "I'm thrilled to be joining Garçon Wines' innovative team," she said. "Now is an important time for innovation and sustainability in our industry – like many others – we're experiencing changes driven by consumer behavior shifts during this crisis."
Flat bottles offer more storage space on shelves and store display areas while ensuring easier transportation with less breakage risk and reduced glass usage. "I will always support new ideas that challenge our marketplaces," Mount emphasized.
Santiago Navarro, CEO & Co-founder of Garçon Wines stated: "If there's one thing you can say about Angela it's that she's famous among supermarket buyers - but it wasn't just about being worth £1 million! Her three books on industry connections; her insatiable quest for great wines accessible to all shoppers; plus her concern for our planet's health make her the perfect advisor."
"We look forward to working with Angela to better understand how our innovations can support sustainable development in British supermarkets."
