Home / Distribution for Drinks Brands

Your brand on more bars. Our logistics behind it.

Agreed a sponsorship or listing? We get your stock to site on the customer's own delivery. And we sell your products into the festivals, venues, bars, pubs and restaurants we supply.

Two ways to work with GHF

Get delivered, or get sold

Most brands work with us in one of two ways. Some do both. Pick a route to see how it works.

Route 1 · What you get

You've done the deal. We get it there.

Festivals and bar operators don't want every sponsor and supplier delivering to site separately. Route your stock through GHF and it arrives as part of their own order.

  • One order, one deliveryThe operator orders your products from us with everything else, and it all arrives together.
  • Loaded their wayTrailers loaded the way the event or bar operator wants them.
  • No extra vehicles on siteNothing for the event to object to, so your deal is easier to say yes to.
  • Collected and processedUnopened stock comes back to GHF, is counted in and credited.
  • A full Supplier ReportExactly what went in, what sold and what we're holding for you.
  • More than drinksYour fridges, branded bars, POS and glassware on the same trailers.

Running the event or the bars? If a sponsor or brand wants to deliver direct, ask us to bring their stock in with your order instead. Talk to our events team →

Route 1 · Proof

Who we've delivered for

Beer & cider

A global brewer

Headline sponsor

At some shows we were the main supplier, at others we delivered this brand only, and at a few we were emergency supply.

Stock was planned into our depots, processed against each customer's order and delivered across many sites, then the same in reverse for returns from site and back to the brewer. We delivered their POS too.

Ready-to-drink

A canned cocktail brand

Official pouring partner

We weren't the main supplier at these shows, so we delivered this brand's stock on its own and collected it after each one.

Several were city-centre sites, with tight delivery and collection schedules to work around.

Lager

An independent lager brand

Headline sponsor & main pouring partner

We were the main supplier, so the brand's stock went to site on the trucks already carrying everything else the shows had ordered.

City-centre shows, four-day festivals, Pride events and dance shows.

Festival environments can be incredibly demanding, with tight delivery windows, changing requirements and a lot of moving parts, but GHF made the process straightforward throughout.

We worked with Glass Half Full Wholesale to support the delivery and management of our products across a number of sponsored festival events, and the service from start to finish was excellent.

The GHF team managed the full operational process for us, from receiving and holding stock through to coordinating deliveries into site, supporting collections after the event and providing clear post-event reporting on stock movements and consumption.

Their team were responsive, organised and proactive, and gave us confidence that our stock and event requirements were being properly managed at every stage.

The post-event reconciliation and reporting was particularly valuable, giving us a clear understanding of what had been delivered, consumed and returned across each event.

Glass Half Full Wholesale proved to be a reliable and highly capable logistics and distribution partner, and we would have no hesitation in working with them again for future events.
