Miele Professional provides the catering and hospitality sector with unrivalled quality when it comes to dishwashing and laundry. From laundry to kitchen, every Miele product is designed and built to ensure the very highest quality results, load after load.

And with quality comes sustainability. The energy efficient and reliable machines also have a long life cycle before needing to be replaced, and when they do they are almost entirely recyclable.

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.

The whole ethos of Kingfisher Drinks has been to curate an intriguing and differentiated portfolio of drink brands from all over the globe. So, with that in mind, we travelled far and wide to find premium beverages sourced from beautiful locations and fascinating cultures. We know that as tastes become more sophisticated, consumers tire of the same old brands, so we inspire pubs, bars and restaurants to expand their horizons and get adventurous with their ranges. Our story began with one iconic Indian beverage of the same name – Kingfisher Beer. After winning the hearts of consumers across the UK, we spread our wings to bring more premium drinks into our collection, and while gathering beverages from all over the globe, we’ve grown to be known as Kingfisher Drinks. Other brands in our portfolio include Sapporo, the first beer of Japan, Sagres from Portugal, Yeastie Boys from New Zealand, Ichnusa from Sardinia and many more.
