Andrew ‘Sandy’ Oatley joined his late father’s business straight out of high school: working firstly in coffee, then property, wine and now tourism as well. Today he runs all of the family’s commercial activities. A remarkably astute business person, Sandy is a Renaissance man in the true sense of the term.

Chris has worked for the Oatley family and in the UK market since 1976.  Trained as a chemist, Chris had five vintages of Penfold’s Grange Hermitage under his belt before he got snapped up by Bob Oatley.
