AWRS – Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme
The Alcohol Wholesaler Registration Scheme (AWRS) was introduced by HM Revenue & Customs to help tackle Alcohol Fraud. As we supply hampers and drink gifts containing alcohol we have registered with the scheme. As part of this scheme we are required to conduct due diligence checks on customers and suppliers involved in the supply chain for alcoholic drinks.
