Cru was founded in 2014 by co-founders Simon Farr and Jeremy Howard. But our roots as a fine wine team go back to the early 1980s in the UK, and back to 2010 in Hong Kong.

Mr Simon Farr: a hugely respected 40 year wine industry veteran who was involved in the founding and growth of two of Britain's most successful wine enterprises (Majestic and Bibendum). Jeremy Howard is a former investment banker who has been building ecommerce businesses in fine wine since 2008.
