OUR 2022 SPONSORS

“Collaborating with the PCDA’s through sponsorship is a total joy. Janet and Judy bring so much to the table and deliver real value through a range of carefully considered projects we embark on together.
Most recently delivering some brilliant results through inventive marketing exercises. I love that they challenge our thinking, applying their vast experience to offer another valued perspective. The awards themselves are a fantastic celebration of wine and spirits to enjoy with our drinks network.” Jenny Simpkins, BiB and Wine Market Manager, Smurfit Kappa CRP.
