Jo Purcell

Jo started her career in the UK wine trade back in 1989 and moved to Hong Kong in 1994 when Asia’s interest in wine was just starting. After setting up a wine shop in Hong Kong (one of only 4 retail companies at the time) Jo joined Farr Vintners in 1997 to set up the Hong Kong office - the first of its kind. Initially focusing in Hong Kong, the company’s office soon expanded its operations not only to assisting traders, keen new wine collectors and drinkers, but also in developing new business across Asia. To be a part of the emerging wine market in Asia over this period has been an amazing experience, one that Jo looks forward to continuing in future years.
