Accolade Wines has relocated its head office to the Adelaide CBD, with at least 160 staff to occupy an entire level at the GPO Exchange on Franklin Street.
As one of the world’s largest wine companies, Accolade Wines has more than 50 brands in its portfolio from across Australia, Europe, America and South Africa, including SA favourites Hardys, Grant Burge, St Hallett, Petaluma and Croser.
Growing from its South Australian heritage, the company has built a national and international presence with more than 1600 employees across 20 countries and a presence in more than 140 global markets.
The move of their head office into the city is a reflection of their growth in business, complementing recent decisions by other global brands such as Microsoft, Nokia, Google and Accenture who have chosen the city as a destination to grow their Australian footprint.
The Adelaide Economic Development Agency (AEDA) has supported the company’s move to the heart of the CBD, with AEDA Managing Director Ian Hill saying the transition highlights the strength of the Agency’s Welcome to Adelaide pilot program.
“We want to work with organisations to help them take advantage of everything the city has to
offer. From introductory offers at UParks, Adelaide Aquatic Centre, Rundle Mall and North Adelaide Golf Course, to a foyer pop-up with the Adelaide Central Market, and facilitating staff connection to key services around the city,” says Mr Hill.
“Adelaide is Australia’s most liveable city and is positioned as one of the best places in the world to live, work, invest and do business”
“Accolade Wines relocating to the CBD is another significant indicator that Adelaide should be on the list for all global companies who want a presence in Australasia”, he says.
Jason Duldig, Head of Legal at Accolade Wines is excited to now be located in the Adelaide CBD after leading the project to move to the city on behalf of the company.
“We’re delighted to have relocated to the Adelaide CBD just last week in a move that is a significant investment in our new employee proposition, to attract and retain talent, and one example of the company’s many recent investments in South Australia,” says Mr Duldig.
“Accolade Wines commenced production at a new bottling and warehousing facility at Berri Estates in the Riverland to help the company drive productivity and performance, and assist in meeting the increasing demand for quality Australian wine from domestic and international consumers”, he says.
Accolade Wines officially moved into its new home at the GPO Exchange on Monday 6 December 2021 and AEDA warmly welcomes them to the neighbourhood.
