The Symington's incorporated PPW in 1985 and hired me to start the company in the U.S. I selected Sausalito in California and we initially shared offices with Negociants USA. After a year we moved out and had an office in Sausalito.I hired all the employees, including David Campbell, who took over from me when I left in 1985 after 10 years. I also hired Peter Scott who took over from David Campbell following his resignation. Peter Scott currently runs the company.At PPW I was responsible for setting up all the U.S. distribution and spearheading sales of Port in the U.S. After helping the Symingtons in the decision to buy the Madeira Wine Company, I was responsible for re-launching Madeira in the United States, after a lull since Prohibition.I left PPW to set up Broadbent Selections and where another alumni of PPW, Gregg Perkins, joined us as our VP Director of Sales.
