His proactive engagement with our importer, on-trade and off-trade clients, and overall market presence has elevated Miolo to a new level in the UK wine market. His expertise, energy and commitment have made a real difference to our business.”

    Gavin George, Founder and former CEO Laine Pub Company

    Zach Emett has worked closely with my business as a key drinks partner for over 15 years.  He has made it his mission to fully understand our business, its people and its customers, such that he could ensure we always had the most appropriate wine and spirit portfolio in our estate, at the very best commercials.  Working under his Brand Zed business, Zach has continued to introduce us to interesting, innovative and high quality products that appeal to the evolving tastes of Laine’s savvy customer base.

    Dino Sura, MD Burger and Lobster

    I've worked with Zach for many years and always found him a true professional—knowledgeable, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. As London Sales Director at Bibendum, he looked after Burger & Lobster brilliantly, consistently delivering excellent service and a great wine range. More recently, we worked with him to introduce Gun Brewery and Albourne Estate to our restaurants. We’ve always had a strong working relationship (with a healthy dose of fun thrown in). Zach has extensive knowledge of the UK trade and I’d very happily recommend him and Brand Zed.

  • Logo of Coterie, with a stylized letter 'C' in dark blue and the word 'Coterie' in dark blue text

    Michael Saunders, CEO, Coterie Group

    I had the pleasure of working with Zach for 15 years at Bibendum Wine, where he did an excellent job in senior sales roles, particularly as London Sales Director. More recently, he supported the successful introduction of Madame F to Coterie Holdings. I rate Zach extremely highly—he is strategic, driven, good fun and a true professional who has an excellent understanding of the drinks industry. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to get their brand established in the UK market.
