Park Lane History

Park Lane History

Founded in 1994 by brothers Alastair and Nicholas Harrison, Park Lane Champagne has concentrated on importing personalised champagne.  This is high quality champagne from independent producers in France, and we supply this to customers under their own brands.  Customers include individuals, businesses, large corporate enterprises and everything and everyone inbetween.

 

We find that personalised champagne has so many uses - aside from the obvious opportunity to drink delicious fizz with your own label!   It helps to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, as a congratulation gift or thank you pressie, for your special event, as a regular corporate gift and, of course, essential for every wedding.  At Park Lane we handle a range of fulfillment according to each customer's individual needs:  gift-wrapped bottles (or not), gift card or personal letter enclosed (or not), individual bottles or single site delivery, delivery to and collection from third party locations, etc.

From day one, the focus has always been on quality: quality of champagne, quality of design and quality of service. These principles have helped the company grow and become the UK’s leading importer and supplier of customers' personalised champagne.  And, of course, at the heart of the service is the fabulous and unique wine that is CHAMPAGNE - something which Park Lane has a good working knowledge about.

The customer base has always been diverse ranging from the banking sector, through the motor industry, property, air travel, insurance, education, manufacturing and services, although this is not definitive. The issue for Park Lane has been how to supply small quantities or even single bottles of personalised champagne reactive to demand, staying true to the core focus of quality.   Now we think we've cracked it - thanks to the internet, new technology, accommodating champagne producers and hard work!

As an insight to how we do things, a look at a couple of our more traditional customers, this is some of the feedback we have had, and some of the uses that personalised champagne is put to:
