Alcoholic Beverages

Unique Worldwide plays an active role in the distribution of alcoholic beverages in West Africa and have been doing so for many decades.

An increasing number of manufacturers desire to expand into West Arica as an undeveloped market. We have partnered with the leading brands situated in the United Kingdom, Europe and across the globe and have enabled these products to reach an otherwise untouched market.

Africa’s rising middle class and the evolving young consumer are adopting similar consumption patterns to those of Europe and the United States. Factors involved include an increase in brand loyalty and a preference for premium brands; urbanisation; and the increasing number of female alcohol consumers.

Hi, I’m Alex, one of Martin’s sons.

I graduated with an undergraduate Bachelors in Banking & International Finance from Bayes Business school and continued with my studies abroad for a number of years.

I like to consider myself a connoisseur and very much appreciate a nice drink to wind down from a long day. Since joining Unique Worldwide, I have been instrumental in on-boarding new brands in addition to starting a new branch of the business which focuses on creating POS material for beverage brands.

In my spare time, I love traveling and spending as much time as possible with my family.
