Mark Rogers , Managing Director & Founder of Intagulf Travel Retail commented, "20 years has gone by in a flash! It feels like just yesterday we were excitedly waiting and watching our first ever container, imported directly from Australia , reverse up to our empty warehouse. The container held wines like Yering Station , Mount Langi Ghiran & Parker Coonawarra bound for DDF. I am pleased and proud to say they are still selling strong today.

Looking back over the past 20 years, a lot has happened. We have forged a number of very long-standing relationships, as well as more recent partnerships including, Remoissenet, Vicchiomaggio, Balthasar Ress , Fishbone, Ironstone, Cono Sur and Mooiplaas. We have gotten through the Financial Crisis of 2008/2009 and Covid in 2020, coming through it together and stronger.

It is a true testament to the dedication and passion of all involved. Our commitment to unrivalled service, choosing fantastic partners, with a dedication to quality and environmental sustainability has been the cornerstone of our success, and we have been lucky enough to grow steadily since 2005. Here's to the next 20 years!"

"I first met Mark at Vinexpo, Bordeaux , in 2005 when we tasted our Yering Station and Mount Langi Ghiran wines together. Over the last 20 years we have enjoyed business together and a great friendship. I admire Mark's integrity, business sense and ability to adapt to changing market conditions. I wish Mark and the wonderful team at ITR a very Happy 20th Birthday," said Gordon Gebbie , Commercial Director at Rathbone Wine Group .
