"We booked a wine tasting event with Harper Wells. As a thank you for all their efforts that out team of Norwich Union staff and consultants have given to our project. From the first contact with HarrperWells to the end of the night, everything went like clockwork. It was a fun, lighthearted look into the world of wine which was throughly enjoyed by all from the novices all the way through to our self confessed wine-aholics! A superb night and we would certainly recommend them!"

"I have been to a great many "Wine and Food " events over the years....those hosted or organized by Ed Wells stand out from all the rest, and I have never been able to fault the organization and exquisite planning of his events. Ed also has a light relaxed style, great authority and knowledge and the uncanny ability to pitch the event at just the right level for the majority of guests. I am looking forward with great enthusiasm to the events organized by his new Company - Harper Wells Ltd "
