Will alcohol wholesalers require a licence to trade?
Yes in some cases. For the first time, wholesalers will require a premises licence to sell alcohol in wholesale quantities to members of the public. No sales of any kind may be made to children. Sales made to other traders for the purposes of their trade will not be a licensable activity. Similarly, sales made to holders of premises licences, club premises certificates or personal licences will not be a licensable activity if the sale is for the purposes authorised by the premises licence or for the purposes of the qualifying club. Also exempt will be when alcohol is sold wholesale to premises users operating under a temporary event notice. In all cases, it is advisable to check with the licensing authority for the area if the sale is a licensable activity and to avoid any potential problems.
