Clearwater Hampers is a small British company that sells luxury food and drink in various combinations in picnic hampers. Food and wine are seen as classic, fail-safe gifts in a market where present-buying is increasingly tricky. Corporate customers, both in the United Kingdom and abroad, are important to the business. Clearwater has had several orders for more than a quarter of a million dollars. The company's leading salesperson is Peter Austin, who sees his company "as a service company rather than a food and drink business. Our priority is to get the hampers out on time, filled with the right products."
