This study looks at all companies registered in the United Kingdom where they identifythemselves as wholesalers of beers, wines, spirits and other alcoholic beverages.This study includes companies that are dormant or non-trading some of which might be latent while others may operate under their owners’ names but are incorporated to protect the business name. In addition, all newly incorporated companies are included. The study will exclude those companies that do not specifically identify themselves as wholesalers of beers, wines, spirits and other alcoholic beverages.The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the key movers and shakers in the UK wholesale market in beers, wines, spirits and other alcoholic beverages.Only key data has been isolated, particularly the company’s net worth and total assets, but also its full name, date incorporated, registered office, other activities, shareholders, directors (with date of birth, occupation and nationality) and number of employees.In the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, new company incorporations in the alcohol wholesale sector were 353, 583 and 1,069 respectively.Two indicators of size are used: net worth and total assets. These are preferable to turnover which is influenced by profit margins and whether the companies are capital or labour intensive.In Great Britain, 57% of those aged 16 years and over in 2017 drank alcohol (29 million people of the population) while 20% did not drink alcohol at all.Beverages breakdown in the UK is soft drinks (28%), beer (27%), whisky (25%), cider (7%), gin (3%), mineral water (3%) and others (2%).The top two wholesalers, Matthew Clark and Diageo’s distribution arm, account for 11% of the market. Distributors and wholesalers can be alcohol-focused specialists, such as Matthew Clark, which focuses on pubs; or general suppliers, such as Palmer & Harvey PLC, which collapsed in November 2017, that served supermarkets.The Federation of Wholesale Distributors (FWD)
