COLIN FORD
Managing Director
Winework Solutions Limited
Colin is a nearly 40 year veteran of the wine trade. Beginning in hospitality, he went on to work for New Zealand’s first wine distributor, Brown & Garvey, way back in the mid 1980’s.
After travelling to Australia, California and Europe to visit and work during vintage with some of the world’s most respected wine producers, Colin was a specialist on-premise and fine wine retail account manager for Kitchener Wines in Auckland, through the 1990’s. During this time, he participated in the study program for the Institute of Masters of Wine and developed his writing and tasting skills to a high degree.
He then worked for a spell in the United States, helping to establish a successful importer and distributor of exclusively New Zealand wines, located just north of San Francisco, California.
Subsequently, Colin returned to New Zealand and established Winework Solutions in 1999.
