It&#8217;s a big shock for any wholesaler because our profit margins are very small compared to retail margins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We rely on the volume of sales rather than a bigger margin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-5294\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2021\/01\/10f88f82-dc3d-4a99-84c5-ff5adc2eb050.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2021\/01\/10f88f82-dc3d-4a99-84c5-ff5adc2eb050.jpg 768w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2021\/01\/10f88f82-dc3d-4a99-84c5-ff5adc2eb050-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the wake of Brexit, red tape also means that companies like Mike\u2019s must expend much more working hours for the same or lower profit in return.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of extra work involved. Hours and hours of emails to suppliers in Germany and German freight companies just trying to get it right.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Basically, if the paperwork isn\u2019t right and they seize it, even though we\u2019ve already paid the duty, we won\u2019t get it back for probably three or four months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Which, in our case, means that a lot of the beer would be out of date.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mike believes that this all speaks to a lack of preparedness by&nbsp;the British government who had years to ready the country for this transition but failed to simplify the existing customs system.<\/p>\n<p>Even products produced in&nbsp;the UK are not safe. Some UK made&nbsp;products which Mike supplies can no longer source the necessary ingredients from Europe and have had to halt production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Manchester-based beer wholesaler has told the Northern Quota that Brexit has pushed up beer prices and increased his working hours significantly.
