WineGB has welcomed London City Bond (LCB) as its newest Patron, securing a major operational and commercial advantage for producers across England and Wales. As one of the UK’s most trusted bonded logistics providers, LCB brings national scale, bonded expertise and decades of industry experience, all of which translate directly into stronger, simpler and more efficient operations for WineGB members, in the UK and internationally.
LCB’s Patronage delivers a meaningful upgrade to the everyday running of producer businesses. Their bonded network streamlines the movement of goods, reduces administrative pressure and provides a professionally managed logistics backbone that supports producers as they grow. Members will also benefit from access to LCB’s stillage systems, offering safer storage, improved organisation and reduced breakage risk, a practical enhancement that makes handling higher volumes significantly easier.
Neil Walker, Head of Partnerships at WineGB commented: “LCB’s Patronage is a direct investment in our members’ success. Their bonded expertise, national reach and operational strength will help producers run simpler, more efficient businesses and unlock new commercial opportunities.”
The partnership strengthens producers’ reach, with LCB’s UK‑wide footprint enabling fast, reliable distribution to trade customers, wholesalers and hospitality. It also enhances export readiness: bonded storage, customs‑aligned processes and integrated logistics give producers the confidence and capability to expand into international markets without operational friction. Alongside this, LCB’s modernised supply‑chain solutions open new routes to market and support stronger commercial outcomes for WineGB members.
David Hogg, Sales Director from LCB said: “We’re proud to become a Patron of WineGB and to support producers at a pivotal moment of growth for the sector. Our services are designed to make operations smoother, safer and more scalable and we look forward to helping WineGB members strengthen their logistics, reach new customers and build commercially resilient businesses.”
