Staff Testimonial
"Being a member of the Qualia Laboratory team for almost 20 years has given me a unique insight. I’ve been able to watch the company evolve from a small operation to the bustling business it’s become today.
Working closely with Winemakers, Cellar Operators and Management in equal parts, has rounded out my knowledge of what we truly achieve and I’ve always felt my results have reflected how well we operate when working as a team.
It’s an honour to be a part of a company that gives a person the freedom to be oneself on the job because they know that it only enhances the quality of work performed in the workplace.
How terrific to be able to enjoy the job you do."
