The organisers of The Wine Show Jo’burg 2010 have signed a partnership agreement with Dawn Wing, one of the country’s leading courier and logistics companies. The company, which was founded in 1989, will handle all the delivery requirements for the show and its exhibitors.

According to organiser, John Woodward, Dawn Wing is ideally suited for the job. “We believe that Dawn Wing has the superior facilities to consolidate the expected 70 pallets of stock, which will be delivered to the show. The company has won nine consecutive PMR Awards for best courier company and we view this as proof of their commitment to service excellence. We have been particularly impressed with their specialist division, which is dedicated to wine deliveries. This service includes repacking stock into special boxes with custom-made inserts to ensure that the wine arrives in premium condition for the customer,” mentions Woodward.

Dawn Wing launched their Fine Wine Express division in 2008 to meet market needs and offer customised solutions for wine deliveries. “We wanted to make it easy for international tourists and for South Africans from all over the country to access wines with ease and confidence. We felt that we could offer expertise and excellent service in this sector by creating a dedicated fine wine express delivery service. With our extensive Cape Town office, we are able to support the wine estates based in the Cape with a large national footprint and access to a highly substantive global network via our international partner, DPD,” explain Benita Buitendag of Dawn Wing. Exhibitors at the show will have access to the full complement of Dawn Wing’s services, which includes a sophisticated on-line parcel tracking service. Specialised packaging will be provided to exhibitors to protect the contents and minimise breakages.

The Wine Show Jo’burg promises to bring the world of wine to Gauteng consumers from Friday, 4 to Sunday, 6 June at the Coca-Cola Dome in Northgate. For more information, visit www.wineshow.co.za. Show times: 17:00 to 21:00 on Friday; 12:00 to 21:00 on Saturday; and 12:00 to 18:00 on Sunday.
