Over the next two decades or so other companies were acquired or amalgamated within the business and these included Bath Street Wine Cellar, Bottles, G. Orange & Co., Ann Street Freetraders and also Bass to form the current business now called Victor Hugo Limited.
A number of changes took place within the company over the ensuing years and in July 2008 a management buy out led by Mark Crowther took the company forward alongside its sister company in Guernsey, Bucktrout and Company Ltd. and 65 tied pubs within the Channel Islands under the name of The Liberation Group.
Victor Hugo Limited continues to supply a full range of beverages, snacks and tobacco, including draught and packaged beers, wines spirits, minerals and soft drinks to the hotel, restaurant and catering industry and also to retailers, shops and many corporate and private customers.
A retail sales outlet “Victor Hugo Wines” [see more here] in St Saviour continues to offer our private and corporate clientele a huge selection of fine wines, spirits and beers etc. at attractive prices. The two Wine Clubs operated from the company now have waiting lists for members due to their popularity.
A range of leading agency brands in all categories allows for development of these products in all market sectors. A dedicated staff of over 50 works closely together to ensure that quality, price and service are the key factors within the business. The company operates from under one central distribution centre in St Saviour and training in all aspects of the business is considered essential. Knowledge of IT systems, product range and technical services etc are key factors in the ability of Victor Hugo Limited to offer an unsurpassed service to the industry within the island.
