We’re proud to be supporting WineGB, the national body representing the English and Welsh wine industry.
WineGB plays a vital role in championing the sector - representing producers to media, government, and trade, while supporting the sustainable growth of an industry that continues to accelerate. Through initiatives such as English Wine Week, the Drinks Awards Ceremony and their Trade and Press Tastings, they bring the community together and showcase the quality, ambition, and innovation driving English and Welsh wine forward.
That quality is increasingly recognised on the global stage. Across 2024 and 2025, more than 150 English wines achieved gold medals at national and international competitions, underlining the world‑class standards now being set across the sector.
For us, supporting this community feels like a natural progression. We’ve worked closely with UK‑based wineries, suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers for many years - helping drinks businesses streamline operations, improve visibility, and build the data foundations they need to scale confidently. These long-standing partnerships have given us a deep understanding of the real operational pressures drinks businesses face as they grow, from managing supply chain complexity to responding rapidly to shifting market conditions.
Mark Prince, Owner and Managing Director at De Facto Software, commented:
"We’re very pleased to be working alongside WineGB. The drinks sector is one we’ve supported for many years through long‑standing relationships with wine specialists, suppliers, distributors and wholesalers. We’re looking forward to strengthening our involvement with the community and demonstrating how our technology can support the operational and data‑driven needs of a growing drinks business"
With De Facto ERP - built on our innovative Enterprise Data Platform architecture - drinks businesses can operate from a secure, centralised and scalable single source of truth. This supports informed decision‑making, provides the flexibility to adapt and grow, and delivers a platform configured to the unique shape and scale of each business.
That’s why this partnership with WineGB feels so well aligned. We’re committed to listening, learning, and deepening our understanding of the English and Welsh wine community, while contributing practical insight that helps businesses in the drinks industry operate efficiently today and build confidently for the future.
We’re excited about the conversations ahead - and proud to support an industry whose achievements continue to resonate far beyond the UK.
