Our Management
Mark Soudah
As a trained chef and hotel operator, Mark has always been passionate about wine. Having worked for blue chip wine and champagne companies for many years, Mark decided to create Grape Passions in 2005. His ethos has always been that the world of wine is fun and exciting, and he is keen to share that with as many people as possible! Not one for flowery descriptions and fancy tasting sessions, Mark thinks wine should be enjoyable and approachable, and thrives on helping customers select the perfect wines for their business. Mark loves to spend time in his vegetable garden and still enjoys cooking when he has the chance, though now for his family rather than a restaurant full of customers!
Kay Soudah
Kay manages the office and accounts at Grape Passions with natural efficiency, but like Mark, shares a passion for the wine world. Before setting up the business with Mark, Kay worked as a Sales Manager in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry. Although the world of wine is very different, her professional experience has led to a great understanding of the importance of personal service, exceptional products and reliable logistics. When Kay isn’t in the office or taxiing the children around, she is likely to be walking the family dogs, Jasper & Amber – also regular visitors at the Grape Passions office!
