Tanners Wines Limited

Tanners is family-owned, family-run, resolutely independent and celebrated its 182nd anniversary in 2024. It is run by James Tanner, Chairman, the fourth generation of the family to work in the company, who took over from his father, Richard Tanner. The firm employs over 100 people with the majority split between its distinctive, black & white headquarters in Shrewsbury and its distribution depot in Welshpool. Approximately half Tanners’ sales are to quality-minded hotels and restaurants and half to private clients and corporate customers such as universities, colleges and companies - not only locally but countrywide too. Good traditional service is what Tanners is about, but ‘traditional’ in the best sense of the word. We find it easier to deliver this with a core of long-serving staff and we are lucky in this respect, Tanners currently has more than a dozen members of staff who have completed 30 years with the firm.

Branches in Shrewsbury, Hereford, Chester, Bridgnorth, Welshpool and Llandudno.
