About Milestone Wines

Milestone Wines was founded in 2017 by Miles Corish MW, initially focusing on supplying some of the North’s finest on-trade establishments. Over time, our reach and ambition have grown exponentially. Today, we supply a dynamic portfolio of wines to both on-trade and off-trade clients, including top independent wine shops, regional wholesalers, and prestigious national retailers.

In October 2024, we reached a significant achievement with the founding of The Heritage Wine Company, into which we incorporated Milestone Wines and completed the acquisition of The Winchester Wine Group. This included two highly regarded businesses: The Secret Cellar, an independent wine merchant with four retail outlets, and Milton Sandford Wines, a respected wine supplier to the southern counties.

As we continue to grow, we’re seeking an experienced and motivated Southern-based On-Trade Development Manager to join our team and expand our London account base. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic, relationship-driven company where your impact will be truly valued.

Our Ethos

At Milestone Wines, we pride ourselves on offering uncompromising quality at every price point. We always employ a relationship-oriented and solution-based approach to all that we do, which helps our on-trade customers maximise the potential of wine within their establishments.

We believe our success is built on the passion and talent of our employees. Joining us means becoming part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and customer excellence. If you’re ready to take the next step in your wine career and be part of an ambitious and growing company, we’d love to hear from you!
