MANAGING DIRECTOR OF RUSHMORE

 

CHRISTIAN GILBERT         

 

 

 

"Originally from Jersey in the Channel Islands, I joined the drinks industry in 2005 while living in London and was fortunate enough to work with some of the most dynamic producers and customers in the world. I started out as a National Account Manager supplying large volumes of commercial wine to major importers in the UK and soon moved into Export – a role that took me to a number of mature and emerging wine markets. During this time I sourced and sold a variety of fascinating wines including a parcel of Indian wine to Waitrose – the first time a UK retailer had sourced wine from this part of the world."

 

"I soon became captivated by the places I visited as well as the quality of the products, the ambition of importers in emerging markets and the people who I met along the way. I had always wanted to start my own company and in late 2009, armed with a fantastic network of contacts, I moved back to Jersey and set up the business. In June 2010, Rushmore was formed and after signing agreements with a select group of producers, I am proud and slightly bewildered to now be trading in more than 11 countries with a portfolio of great customers."

 

"The drinks industry (especially the wine side) is evolving so fast and I look forward to being at the forefront of these developments in the coming years."
