Company Description
Guy Anderson Wines (GAW), based in Stoke-sub-Hamdon (Somerset), specialises in sourcing & importing exceptional wines from Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France, partnering with skilled winemakers who share a focus on quality and customer service. The company is behind successful brands such as Porta 6, Anciano, Atlantique and many others, with strong sales in UK grocery and international markets.
The business is family-owned, entrepreneurial, and quality-focused, achieving the top “AA” grade under the BRC Global Standard for Agents and Brokers. Team members work closely with producers and retail partners, making the company a trusted supplier for both branded and own-label wines.
We are a lean, commercially driven team of 12 that punches well above its weight. We're looking for someone hungry to learn the business, contribute from day one, and grow with us.
Role Description
We're looking for a bright, enthusiastic Sales Support Graduate to join the GAW team. You'll work across UK commercial support, taking ownership of key day-to-day responsibilities and building up a thorough understanding of how the business works. You will also be supporting our digital and AI transformation agenda.
You'll be part of a close-knit support team, and reporting to the Managing Director. You'll work alongside the full commercial support and sales teams from the outset.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We're looking for someone who is keen to get stuck in, develops quickly, and grows into a broader and more senior role over time. An interest in technology and process improvement is desired but above all, we want someone commercially sharp and eager to learn the wine business.
