Findlater & Co.



The mission
Findlater & Co has been trading in Dublin since 1823, when Alexander Findlater began selling spirits on Burgh Quay. What started with one man’s ambition grew into a thriving business built on sourcing the highest quality provisions in wine, tea, coffee and groceries. Three generations later, Findlater & Co remains a trusted name across Ireland.
Our challenge was to bring clear, confident thinking to a brand with this much history, then translate it online into a website that reflected the innovative, customer-centric business Findlater & Co is today. Bringing two distinct trades, wine and coffee, together under one roof was central to that.


The transformation
We developed a set of brand pillars that held two centuries of history and a clear vision for where the business is headed next. The brand thinking was organised around a single idea: never settle for ordinary. A line that works as hard for a wine buyer sourcing for a high end restaurant as it does for a café weighing up its next coffee partner.
The website brought that thinking to life, evolving from a functional sales tool into a genuine resource for trade customers that would consistently perform. Every element was carefully chosen to work together, bringing two centuries of trade expertise into full view:
- A unified site architecture that gives wine and coffee trade customers their own dedicated journey, while keeping the Findlater & Co brand front and centre
- Rich content for the wine trade, supported by search and filter tools that bring ease of navigation to an extensive portfolio
- A coffee experience shaped around the company’s breadth of offering and training content, giving customers a genuine working resource
- Interactive maps connecting customers directly to their regional sales agent, helping convert a website visit into the start of a conversation
- Sustainability and producer storytelling woven throughout, reinforcing the provenance behind every product and the relationships that make them possible



The result
A website that reflects Findlater & Co’s scale and expertise, positioning the business as a key strategic partner to Ireland’s wine and coffee trade.
The immersive, resource-rich platform gives wine and coffee customers a compelling reason to stay, explore and get in touch. What was once a functional sales tool now makes two centuries of trade expertise feel effortless to explore.
