[Copenhagen] Bemakers, the leading direct beverage distribution platform, is now an approved provider of the UK’s Department for Business and Trade (DBT). This cooperation reinforces Bemakers’ commitment to helping UK beverage brands expand into Europe by simplifying the complexities of cross-border distribution and unlocking access to new markets and sales channels.
As part of the DBT’s Export Support Directory (ESD), a global network of in-market experts, providers, and specialists, Bemakers offers targeted support to UK beverage businesses looking to grow internationally. The ESD connects UK exporters with vetted service providers who can assist with everything from compliance and distribution to sales and market entry. Through this cooperation, Bemakers supports UK beverage brands in navigating the challenges of selling in Europe, combining technology, market insight, and logistical expertise.
Since the UK’s departure from the European Union, entering the European beverage market has become more complex. What was once a single market with shared standards and streamlined logistics is now a patchwork of local rules, customs requirements, and compliance challenges. From excise duties and VAT registration to navigating national regulations, UK beverage producers face a steeper path to market than before. Bemakers helps UK brands overcome these barriers by managing the legal, logistical, and compliance burdens allowing them to focus on building their brand and growing sales across Europe.
With a fully digital platform, Bemakers enables beverage brands to access key European markets without the need for local subsidiaries, importers, or distributors. Through a single setup, UK brands can sell to consumers, businesses, wholesalers, and retail monopolies in markets including Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Spain, and beyond.
Morten Rinder Stengaard, CEO & Co-founder of Bemakers, sees this cooperation as a natural step in making European expansion more accessible for UK brand owners: “The UK has a rich tradition of spirits, beers, and wines, and many producers are eager to reach European customers. The challenge has always been the complexity of cross-border distribution — compliance, logistics, and taxation. That’s where Bemakers comes in. Through this cooperation with the DBT, we aim to make European market access as straightforward as possible for UK beverage brands.”
By partnering with Bemakers, UK beverage brands gain access to a modern distribution platform and the operational know-how needed to successfully enter and grow in key European markets.
