Sparkling Sales in South Africa – How Thomson & Scott is Helping Phenomenal Prosecco Growth

As Thomson & Scott Sales Director Shyamal Lallah admits, a business trip to South Africa is always going to be one to look forward to. Sunshine, beaches and safari in a country that became synonymous with partying when it hosted a hugely successful FIFA World Cup in 2010.
