After a brief flirtation with professional cricket, Tim realised that his talents were more effective after the hours of play. His growing passion for wine resulted in him establishing Chalgrove Wines in 1995.

Tim attributes the ongoing success of Chalgrove Wines to his personal relationships with small independent growers, never compromising on quality whilst remaining competitively priced.

Maria is a recent addition to the team and is tasked with the promotion and marketing of Chalgrove Wines.

She brings with her the experience of promoting and marketing consumer products and brands. After a career break to raise her two sons,  working in the wine business  is now a very welcome change for her!

David has known Tim since school days and joined the Chalgrove team  in 1999.  Previous to this he spent several years working in the Brewery industry, real ale being another passion of his. David's main role for Chalgrove Wines is growing the on-trade side of the business, where his expertise lays. David is also known to answer to 'Douglas' (courtesy of his young sons) and sites Italian wine as his favourite. 

Since leaving Uni, Pip has helped her brother's business grow from strength to strength and run like clockwork. Known as the Mary Poppins of the office, she effortlessly processes all of Tim's post-it notes whilst running the internal IT systems, keeping an eye on stock levels and ensuring all customers get their orders on time. When she's not in the office she's looking after two boys and a husband.
