Additional information

This is the 28th year that the company has been trading, although a very small company it still gives opportunities to grow when more time becomes available and the economic circumstances, we are in improve. Turnover was slightly down on the previous year, we continued focus on securing high quality, value for money French wines made by small family run concerns, we have continued to source wines through UK suppliers who able to offer the quality of wine at the right price. The ongoing challenges of independently importing is expensive and time consuming, therefore working with other business continues to make sense and give us the ability to offer a great range, along with bespoke requests for wines and ports as these continue to be popular. French Adventure continues to offer a small collection of wine from around the world, all sourced through connections in the circle of independent wine merchants. This aspect of the business continues to enable the company to offer a broader range of wines, increasing the diversity of wines and having the ability to access supplies quicker and to offer a better service to customers. Trading shows a small operating loss for the year, the end of year balanced a reduction on the previous year, mainly as a result of the reduction in turnover. We will continue to seek new opportunities to sell quality French and alternative wines that are value for money at competitive prices.
