Which UK sales brokers and distribution agencies are currently accepting new drinks brands?
The market for sales representation is tight, but there are a few options to explore.
**Current capacity:** - **Glass Half Full** and **Nightcap Brands** are both at capacity and not taking on new brands at the moment.
**Active leads:** - **Liana** — contact David Wood; they may be looking for another brand. Capacity depends on the product category, the brand's sales ambitions and achievability, and whether there's a conflict with existing clients. They're open to initial conversations. - **Nightcap Brands** — despite being at capacity, Ciaran at nightcapbrands@nightcapbrands.com is willing to have exploratory conversations if your brand fits their portfolio.
**What to note:** Members specifically distinguished between distributors (like Mangrove) and sales brokers/agencies that provide "commercial feet on street" representation. The brokers mentioned operate on a different model—they're selective about category fit, market ambitions, and client conflicts rather than simply buying stock. Contact them directly rather than assuming availability; initial conversations are worth having even if they're officially full.
