Welcome to the British Distillers Alliance

The British Distillers Alliance (BDA) is a non-profit making body which provides a professional service for independent and craft businesses in the spirits production industry and supply chain.  Founded in 2016 by Alan Powell, the BDA represents distillers, rectifiers and compounders and those in related sectors.

We aim to:

• promote the interests of members within the spirits production industry;

• represent members' interests to UK government and international bodies;

• provide prompt expert technical and legal advice;

• encourage exchange of information of mutual benefit to members

​

Membership of The BDA

​

BDA membership is currently free and aimed at small and start-up distillers and associated businesses.  Membership will fill the gap for new and small businesses who need close assistance whilst establishing themselves.

​

Although larger and more mature businesses may be eligible to join, this will be at the BDA's discretion.

​

Members and applicants for membership must agree to abide by a Code of Conduct (“code”) set out here.
