We are proud of our specialist knowledge, and combine it with a bespoke and personal approach. We regularly taste all the wines in our portfolio and personally visit the growers we represent.

Our small and communicative team are hands on across all departments, ensuring growers and customers alike get the level of service they require.

CHAIRMAN & FOUNDER

Raymond Reynolds

Inspired by family heritage and Portugal’s huge viticultural diversity, Raymond has led the charge for Portuguese wines in the UK for 30 years.

Born and raised in Portugal, Raymond studied Chemistry at Leicester University, before going on to study Oenology at Bordeaux. Returning to Portugal, he became assistant winemaker at Taylor’s Port, before moving to the UK in 1990 and setting up Raymond Reynolds Ltd. He is a member of the Port Wine confraria.

ORDERS & LOGISTICS

Jackie Mundy

Over many years working in the trade with Raymond, Jax has built up lasting relationships with producers and customers alike.

Although Jackie did once manage a wine bar, a background in secretarial management sees her managing orders and logistics at Raymond Reynolds, ensuring all wine is where it needs to be, on time.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Max Driscoll

Prior to joining the trade Max expanded his love of viticulture and winemaking by visiting vineyards, working vintages, and attending tastings.

This led him to join Raymond Reynolds Ltd in 2014, after a brief stint in wine retail. Max is now responsible for overseeing the portfolio alongside Raymond. He holds the WSET Level 3 (Distinction) and is an Advanced Ambassador of the Wines of Portugal Academy.

HEAD OF SALES

James’ enthusiasm for wine started whilst working part-time at Wine Merchant whilst at University, and he has had the wine bug ever since.

SALES SUPPORT

Glen Stringer

Previously Glen's time spent with wine had been purely recreational, now he's on the road to making this a professional interest - one glass at a time.

What he lacks in vino-know-how, he makes up for in experience in customer support, client liaison, and events organisation accrued over a frantic career. Glen is most likely who you'll reach if you call the main office. He'll be happy to process any orders or help with any queries you may have.

SALES ACCOUNT AND MARKETING MANAGER

Rob Haynes

Rob started his career in the wine trade over 9 years ago and he hasn’t looked back since! His experience spans from retail through to on trade sales.

He has joined Raymond Reynolds to continue his wine odyssey and to share his passion for wine with all our customers. When Rob isn’t talking about wine you’ll most likely find him on a tennis court or attempting to keep his ever-growing collection of house plants alive!
