William Sharpley
COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR
On hearing about the beauty of the Weyborne vineyard, William had to try it for himself – and the rest, as they say, is history! He joined the wine trade 39 years ago, in Paris, as a teenager! Since then has many experiences of selling and marketing wines from all over the world – and in particular Champagne. Passionate about sharing good wine with great people. Since arriving at Weyborne, in March 2024, he is most excited about the feedback we get on the quality of The Weyborne Family Reserve.
