Yobana Bermúdez has joined Thierry’s in the newly-created role of technical manager, from Spanish food specialist Brindisa, where she worked in quality control.
Buying director Lindsay Talas said: “We are raising the bar on quality standards in the wine industry by investing in someone who is completely dedicated to ensuring that we comply with today’s increasingly demanding technical requirements.
