The Wine Tipster has been renting an office suite at Cromwell Business Centre, Cromwell Park, Chipping Norton, OX7 5PU for around a year, and has just renewed his lease for another year.

As the only racing pundit and wine and bubbles connoisseur, Neil Phillips has made a 10+ year career out of his three favourite things. With a focus on the social and hospitality elements of racing, as well as all things Prosecco DOC and vino, Neil has found his office space the perfect addition to his business.

“With the rise of virtual events, my office space has been indispensable. It is efficient and flexible as a workspace and so effective for all the professional virtual events I have to do for wine and racing clients and audiences.

I have found everyone so helpful at Cromwell, particularly Sales Executive Mary Reeves-Smith, who is positive, responsive and so welcoming. I love interacting too with the other companies and small businesses in the other offices. It’s a great atmosphere and one that I couldn’t be without, especially at this time of digital events!” –Neil Phillips, The Wine Tipster
