We're so honored to be part of the Halfpenny Green Vineyards winery operation! 😍
Visited Halfpenny Green Vineyards in south Staffs last week, not sure quite what I was going to find. And I came away really impressed. Owners Clive Vickers and Lisa Vickers are a force of nature (as is Clive's father Martin, who at 81 is still full time looking after their 30 acre vineyard and helping others around the UK to work out if the have the right spot to set up their own). Firstly they attract around 250,000 visitors a year to their site - found in a rural spot near the village of Bobbington. Secondly, in additional to producing 250,000 bottles of their own wine, they are producing wine for 104 other vineyards across England and Wales (and potentially soon in Scotland). That's quite a complex operation. Clive uses the InnoVint software to track how each of the 300 different wines they make a year is doing. But he's wondering whether he should double down and take on up to 250 vineyards over the next five years, or rationalise the business a little so he and Lisa can go on the occasional work-free holiday. https://lnkd.in/eR345awi #entrepreneurs #vineyards #Englishwine #farming #strategy #viticulture
