Peter Alderin
Assistant Stock Controller/ Logistics
2016
I am the group Operations Manager for Cirrus Inns, We have 25 beautiful Pubs and Inns , We love all the great things that Britain stands for - the glorious countryside, fabulous traditions, incredible hospitality and the amazing ingredients. And most of all, we adore bringing all of the above to people in our pubs and inns.
I became a member of the Champagne academy in 2016 when I was running Searcys Champagne bar at St Pancras. My enjoyment working in the sector had grown more and more for the passion of Champagne. I was delighted to be selected for such a sought after experience. But my family has always been interested in Champagne and my Grandfather had the agency for a while in Sweden in the 60s for Heidseick Monopole. My favourite moment on the trip was having dinner at the Cote des blanc Clos de Mensil and meeting the family and drinking Krug.
I love spending time with my wife and two boys when not working. I also like , travelling , football, cooking whilst drinking Champagne and trying new places to eat and drink
It was an honour to join the committee in 2018 and helping with driving it to more success in the coming years. The champagne academy has been an amazing for me , and I have met many fantastic people and awesome friends.
