Appointment of New National Sales team for Yealands Estate Wines

Yealands Estate Wines has reiterated their commitment to the New Zealand market with the appointment of a national sales team.

The sales team of 15 will be responsible for driving the Yealands brand portfolio throughout New Zealand; Yealands Reserve, Yealands Estate, Peter Yealands, Pete's Shed, Violet Sparkling and Full Circle.

Entrepreneur and founder, Peter Yealands, says the appointment of a national sales team puts the company in a strong position to continue to grow brand presence in New Zealand.

"This is an exciting time for Yealands as we expand our existing market share and establish new sales channels. We are delighted with the talent that Yealands has attracted and the team that we now have on board."

The new team will drive a fleet of eco-friendly Toyota Camry's. The ultra-low carbon emission vehicles use a combination of petrol and electric technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, making them one of the most environmentally friendly cars on the market. "The Toyota Camry fits our philosophy and environmentally sustainable practices, which go further than the winery itself. We aim to apply green technology in every aspect of the business, even when on the road," says Peter Yealands. Blenheim Toyota CEO, Craig McDermid, says the company is thrilled to align itself with a leader in sustainable practice. "Hybrid vehicles are now recognised as a commercially viable alternative, as environmental awareness among consumers continues to rise, so does the demand for a more sustainable, low cost motoring option, which hybrid technology offers".
