Tamara Roberts
Chair of Trustees, WSET, Sussex
Tamara is a chartered accountant who joined her family’s English sparkling wine business, Ridgeview, in 2004. As Finance Director and later CEO, she helped grow the business from 25,000 to over 500,000 bottles a year. She is particularly proud of the team and culture they built, recognised with B Corp certification and Great Place to Work awards.
She now advises wine and founder-led businesses, chairs the trustees of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and is Link Governor for Wine at Plumpton College. She is delighted to be part of Prept because she believes every young person should know where their food comes from and feel confident cooking and sharing it.
Outside work, Tamara loves a challenge. She completed her first Hyrox in 2026 and will sail a leg of the Clipper Race in 2027. She is also a Freeman of the Vintners’ Company, and nothing beats good food and wine shared with good company.
