Bibendum PLB stengthens play for UK

The UK drinks trade needs to consolidate if it is to keep pace with where the industry is heading, according to Bibendum PLB Group’s CEO – who last year oversaw one of the largest ever mergers in the UK drinks trade. Bibendum and PLB Group announced in October its plan to merge, bringing together five trading companies; existing Bibendum trading arms The Wondering Wine Company and Instil Drinks Company, PLB, including its beer division, and Walker and Wodehouse Wines.
