“We’re incredibly pleased! For a small importer on a tight budget, it’s perfect to work with such a super-flexible company as GP Last,” says Jim Nyman, founder of WINESCOUT. “You can scale up or down the services you use them for. For example, it was ideal to be able to keep costs down at the start and go to their warehouse myself to handle the pick and pack.”

Jim Nyman, also known on Instagram as Champagneweathers, has a great love of champagne – particularly from smaller producers. During his many travels, the idea was born to import it to Sweden so that other champagne lovers could also enjoy these gems.

“I realised the business could grow faster if I had some of the workload taken off my hands,” says Jim. “That’s why I started working with GP Last just a couple of months after setting up my own business. I found GP Last following a recommendation, and today they manage our warehousing – receiving deliveries and putting stock into storage,” he explains.

Jim says that he would, of course, recommend GP Last to others and that it’s great that the range of services at GP Last can be tailored to suit your needs. He also says that he normally always turns down this sort of request – that is, to act as a reference.

– Every hour is important and valuable to me, but GP Last is such a lovely company that you’re keen to support them when you get the chance.

When asked if there’s any service he thinks GP Last is lacking, Jim highlights the temperature in the warehouse. ‘For champagne that’s to be kept for more than a year, I now choose to store it at an even more carefully controlled temperature, although it obviously works well as it is today. “I suppose I’m a bit of a nerd,” he says, “but now that GP Last is moving to new premises, I hope there’ll be the opportunity to store the bottles at an even more consistent temperature.”

“All in all, I’m happy with everything at GP Last. All the staff are really friendly and there’s a great atmosphere at the company,” he concludes.
