One of the brands that has chosen to partner with Bemakers to enable their entry into the EU is the Welsh spirits brand In the Welsh Wind.
"Working with Bemakers is perfect as it allows us to easily supply our product range to customers in key European markets and gives us access to markets on the continent," says Dan Jones, Export Manager.
In The Welsh Wind already has a strong, established presence in the UK, but expanding its presence and selling cross-channel in EU markets would have taken time, money and incurred mistakes had Bemakers not been involved.
