Unitas Wholesale Member Testimonials - On Trade Tim Cooper - Managing Director, Dayla Drinks Unitas Wholesale has been a real game changer for my business while still giving me the freedom to negotiate locally with our suppliers alongside a national commercial policy. With the complexities of the on trade, where in many instances we compete against our suppliers, it is important that there is one voice across our industry and that has proved highly beneficial within our trading as well as representing the sector during the recent pandemic. It’s equally important to have the platform that Unitas facilitates which enables us to share best practice across the membership to learn from one another.

Rob Eastwood - Managing Director, Small Beer Since we joined the group, the benefits have been marked, especially for the areas of our business that we weren’t historically that strong in. Their cross-category approach has really helped us to improve our offering in all areas of the on trade market place. With a large, dedicated and focussed team at central office and great in depot support form Stuart Hill and Steve Hodson, our composite business goes from strength to strength every year.

Andrew Wild - Managing Director, Wilds Premier Drinks Distributor Our business is built on supplying pubs, clubs and other On Trade premises. Through Unitas Wholesale we can gain the support of the key brewers to provide our customers with the range and terms that they need to survive and service the communities they operate in. As a Plus On Trade member we get access to an exclusive bi-monthly publication, Headlines, which contains the latest promotions, category information and advice to help our customers prepare for key trading opportunities. The Unitas Wholesale calendar of trading and networking events is also pivotal to making our business a success.
