Where curiosity, conversation and experience come together

Sip & Flourish creates memorable professional learning and shared experiences through wine, beer, food and conversation.
Who we are

Relax, learn and flourish.

Sip & Flourish creates memorable professional learning and shared experiences through wine, beer, food and conversation. We bring people together away from screens to explore fresh ideas, strengthen relationships and discover how everyday sensory experiences can reveal something valuable about the way we think, communicate and work.

From short experiential learning sessions to corporate hospitality, networking, and residential programmes, every experience combines an engaging theme with thoughtful facilitation and the pleasure of discovering something together.

Sip & Flourish was created by international trainer Jeff Heasman to make professional learning more engaging, human and memorable. Drawing on his experience in insurance, communication, behavioural science and professional development, Jeff connects ideas from the workplace with the familiar pleasures of wine, beer, food and shared discovery.

Experiences can be delivered at client premises, restaurants, hospitality venues and selected destinations, with themes and formats tailored to the occasion.

Jeff holds certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust and for some time operated a wine tasting room in northern Portugal.

Testimonials

“I can not recommend Sip and Flourish sessions enough, having a fun way to gain essential CPD is fabulous.
The CPD is insightful and linking it to wine is genius. Jeff is a quality presenter, with such knowledge and flair that his sessions, even without wine, are so worthwhile.
We even had a non-alcoholic wine at one of the sessions so non-drinkers could participate in the whole experience.”

– Juliet Williams, British Insurance Brokers´ Association

“Sip and Flourish was a fantastic success in bringing together graduate accountants working towards chartership and young professionals in insurance for meaningful cross-industry networking. Jeff’s ability to get the room engaged from the very start made a real difference, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere even for those attending their first networking event. It was a brilliant way to connect, learn, and enjoy great wine in the process!”

– Jake Maddocks, South and East Wales Chartered Accountants Students Student Society

“We have run various wine tasting & CPD sessions with Jeff. I have been fortunate to attend all sessions and each CPD topic has been different. It was a perfect mix of fun and learning through wine paring.
The CPD objectives were linked to different wines and each session was super interesting.

Jeff´s knowledge not only of the topic delivered but on how each wine matched the subject was excellent.

Jeff made each session fun and a great way to enjoy some delicious wines whilst learning something new for your personal development.
If you love wine and love learning in a fun environment I highly recommend booking with Jeff.”

– Lisa Winter, Insurance Institute of Cardiff

““Jeff consistently delivers exceptional results. Every event we’ve partnered on has sold out. The events are not only highly informative but also engaging and enjoyable, which our guests truly appreciate.”

– Nadine Simoes, Chartered Institute for Securities & Investments
