With 35 years of experience, MPLC is the global expert in public licensing for TV and film. We are on a mission to drive growth across the hospitality industry through compliant use of world-class entertainment, while playing a key role in funding the next generation of film and television.

Businesses often use TV and film in public spaces. Hotels, bars and restaurants show content to enhance the customer experience and, behind the scenes, offer relaxing spaces for off-duty staff. But by law, great shows can only be shared in these public settings if the creators give their permission. MPLC provides a simple, affordable licence to businesses, so they can show content whenever they want with peace of mind.

The royalties we collect are then shared with the creators - representing thousands of studios and producers around the world, from major Hollywood studios to small, local and independent companies - and go on to support the future of entertainment we know and love.

As proud champions of the hospitality industry, we support businesses that want to create a winning environment for customers and staff - helping them, and the creators of the content they show, to thrive.

At Matthew Clark, we know it’s been a very tough period for the Hospitality industry; as a supplier that only services the On-Trade, we’ve also shared your challenges.

We all know our clients have a choice which is why we all go the extra mile in everything that we do.

We have extended our drinks portfolio to meet market demands and feature over 7,000 products from popular brands to niche producers. This includes over 1,300 wines and Champagnes, an extensive range of spirits, soft drinks and our specialist Boutique beers collection. Matthew Clark’s Wine List continues to evolve and the Sommelier Wine Awards judges voted us Classic Regions and New World Merchant of the Year in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

We are also committed to our “added value” offer, delivering support via market insight, merchandising, marketing tools, training and category management, all of which give our customers tools to drive revenue, standards, guest satisfaction and to save costs. For instance, we offer a dedicated and high quality Design Studio for bespoke point of sale and a wine listing service.

At Matthew Clark, our ethos is a commitment to deliver whilst ensuring our customers are at the heart of our thinking.

It’s not just our depth of on-trade experience, it’s applying it to all that we do. That’s why with Matthew Clark, the experience matters.
