United Wines celebrates 40 years of success in Northern Ireland

United Wines Managing Director Martin McAuley and Sales Administrator Helena Smith celebrate 40 years of success in Northern Ireland with staff at the company’s warehouse in Craigavon. Founded in 1985, United Wines started life as a team of just five people, including Martin and Helena, based in Elmwood Avenue, South Belfast. Now a subsidiary of Heineken Ireland, the company has evolved into one of the biggest drinks distributors on the island of Ireland, working with some of the world’s most recognisable brands and supporting local businesses across the country. Operating from an 80,000 square foot warehouse on Silverwood Road, with 55 staff on its books, the company handles the sales, marketing and distribution for a huge portfolio of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks to more than 1,000 bars, restaurants, hotels, off licenses, cash & carries, regional wholesalers and national multiples throughout Northern Ireland and the Republic.
