Noordman Wijnimport

Vader TH. J.M. Noordman had samen met zijn vrouw 9 zonen. Vader was van beroep houthandelaar en zijn echtgenote kwam uit een bekende wijnkopersfamilie uit Amsterdam. Twee van de zonen, Willem & Jaap, waren al jong verliefd geworden op de wijnen. Op jonge leeftijd richtte zij samen in 1934 Noordman Wijnimport op, toen nog onder de naam Noordman Fréres,  waarin Jaap zich richtte op de verkoop te Leiden en Willem richtte zich in eerste instantie op het maken van Champagne. Willem kocht een wijngaard in Avize dichtbij Epernay. Na de oorlog ging de groei van Noordman in versnelling, Willem verkocht de wijngaard en kwam naar Leiden om hier de zaak verder voort te zetten. Op de Haagweg kwam de wijn in flessen of vaten binnen en werd de wijn gebotteld en verder gerijpt, alles onder het toezicht van Willem. In 1965 kwam op 18-jarige leeftijd Anton Kleijs werken bij Noordman, na het overlijden van de vrijgezelle heren kreeg Anton Kleijs de mogelijkheid om de zaak verder voort te zetten. Inmiddels was Noordman uitgegroeid tot een wel bekende importeur in en rondom Leiden. Frans Kleijs, het jonge broertje van Anton, kwam in 1977 bij Noordman. Een aantal jaren later, in 1985 kwam Adrie Spies er bij. Na vele succesvolle jaren is Anton in 2006 met pensioen gegaan en zo kregen Frans Kleijs & Adrie Spies de mogelijkheid om Noordman eigen te maken. Dit doen zij sinds dien nog iedere dag met veel plezier en met dezelfde passie als Jaap & Willem Noordman. Zoals het testament van beide broers luidde “Importeer een goed product. Verkoop het voor een aanvaardbare prijs”. Dit is nog steeds iedere dag het motto van de huidige eigenaren.
