FEBRUARY | ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE goers , even so soon after the government gave the go ahead to live events , is what we strive to offer our clients .”
Speaking about their working relationship , Liam Woodford , bars director for LHG Bars said : “ The fact that Event Wine Solutions supply us with both half bottles and full bottles was a massive bonus . Our guests often buy a bottle and share it with friends , which cuts the cost for them , as well as further reducing litter and the environmental impact . Event Wine Solutions were able to deliver our orders directly to our venues – once again having a positive impact on the environment in reducing emissions with the wine only having to make one journey , rather than two .”
Liz Doogan-Hobbs , CEO of Liz Hobbs Group which encompasses LHG Bars , said : “ Our concerts attract a huge range of different ages and drinking preferences , which we are very proud to be able to cater for . We like to ensure that everyone that attends our events is able to enjoy their preferred drink as they experience their favourite music in the great outdoors . We would like to take this opportunity to thank Event Wine Solutions for all their help in the Summer of 2021 , for ensuring we had the best possible selection of safe , tasty and environmentally friendly wine ”.
