COMPANIES JOIN FORCES TO OFFER UNIQUE SERVICE TO VISITORS

Two Isle of Wight companies have joined forces to offer a unique service for visitors. Wight Locations and Eurovines are now giving holidaymakers the opportunity to pre-order wines and have them ready and waiting in their accommodation when they arrive and on a mixed case of 12 wines there would be free delivery!

“It’s all about making life easy for our clients,” said Mark Curtis, managing director of Wight Locations which offers nearly 140 properties on the Island. “Relaxing, eating and drinking is very important to the enjoyment of their holiday and we see this tie up with Tim and his team at Eurovines as helping them enjoy it even more.

“They have the opportunity to browse our on-line brochure, pick their favourite wines and know they will be waiting for them when they arrive.”


Eurovines, with a shop on Nettlestone Hill, was established in 1992 by managing director, Tim Flint who said, “We can offer Wight Location’s clients something different from what they will normally find in supermarkets because we specialise in wines from small growers of exceptional quality but still at affordable prices.

“We are always happy to talk to people on the phone if they want help with choosing a wine or simply wanting to know what we would recommend to go with a particular dish.”

For full details please contact Wight Locations on 01983 811418 or visit http://www.wightlocations.co.uk/.
