Beverage Standards Association

The Beverage Standards Association is the trade association for the UK out-of-home beverage industry. Beverages include coffee, tea, chocolate, milk, smoothies, frappes, juice and water.

It represents all sectors; manufacturers, distributors and importers of machines and components, commodity suppliers, service organisations who maintain and repair machines, training, recruitment and marketing companies working within the industry, and retailers – the end-users who prepare and serve refreshments.

The Association is dedicated to fostering the growth of the UK out-of-home beverage market, to raising the quality of beverages produced and the standard of service provided.

One way in which it achieves this is through education; training, information and communication.

Another is through better standards of practice, honesty and integrity between all sectors of the industry with all members upholding and protecting these.

The Association also provides a platform to address the Government, legislative bodies and the media on matters which concern members.
