how it works
As an importer and distributor of distinction, we invite you to review the exciting beer and spirits companies below, and then complete the Expression of Interest Form by 16 October 2020 to indicate which companies you would be interested in meeting.
Incite will then proceed to match you with the most fitting brands.
We will then send you an email to ask you to select the preferred time slots for each meeting, between 4pm - 7pm (local time) on Wednesday 28, Thursday 29 and Friday 30 of October.
Each Zoom meeting will be 30 minutes in duration and will allow you to meet the decision maker at the Scottish company you are connecting with. These meetings are an opportunity for both sides to get to know each other.
