Description
In 1790, 25-year-old George Sandeman, the son of a wealthy Scottish carpenter, asked his father for a loan of 300 pounds. His aim was to set up as a wine merchant in London. George Sandeman then founded the Sandeman company, which later became one of the world’s leading suppliers of port and sherry.
From the outset, Sandeman specialized in the production and trade of port and sherry. Unlike today, he did not run his business from his own offices, but from Tom’s Coffee House in Birchin Lane in London. At that time, business was often conducted on the basis of a “gentleman’s word”. George Sandeman quickly gained an excellent reputation, which still characterizes the Sandeman company today.
