Sue joined Happs in 2000 as a Cellar Door sales assistant.  Coming from a Sales background in the media, Sue took to the wine business like a 'duck to water'.  Her quick wit and ready smile soon established her as a popular Cellar door personality, highly regarded by both our customers and her work colleagues.  Following a short stint assisting with the general administration of the business Sue took over the representation of Happs & Three Hills wines in Regional WA following the retirement of her predecessor in 2003.  Sue operates her own independent representation agency and has extended her influence beyond Regional WA to include servicing Happs customers in Melbourne, Adelaide and Darwin. Sue's bright, bubbly personality belies the tenacity she demonstrates in servicing her far flung empire.  We are lucky to have Sue "on board"
