LWC
Sponsoring drinks
LWC is the largest independent drinks wholesaler, supplying a wide range of beers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks.
Founded in 1979 by the Gray and Mukadam families, we’ve grown from a small start-up in Manchester to a national leader in the drinks industry – but we’re still proudly rooted in our family values.
Today, we support more than 15,500 customers through 18 depots across the UK, backed by a flexible delivery network operating up to seven days a week. We pride ourselves on delivering best-in-class service, deep industry knowledge, and an unmatched product range – all shaped by a customer-first mindset.
We combine the scale of a national distributor with the personal service of a local business. Our decentralised model means our customers work directly with their local depot – teams who understand their region, their community, and their market.
From the rural roads of Cornwall and Hereford, to the bustling streets of London and Manchester, we know our patches and take pride in being part of the communities we serve.
Independence is at the heart of what sets us apart. Our zero listing fees give us complete impartiality in the products we recommend. We buy on behalf of our customers and curate the best range to suit each individual business.
We see ourselves as a partner, not just a supplier. Our depots are empowered to make decisions quickly, so special requests or last-minute needs can be met without red tape. Being truly independent means we can act fast and always do what’s right for our customers.
We’re here to build long-term relationships – because your success is our success.
