Business supplier noticed opening crew member created, reportedly (10)
I believe the answer is:
wholesaler
'business supplier' is the definition.
'wholesaler' can be an answer for 'supplier' (wholesaler is a kind of supplier). I'm unsure of the 'business' bit.
'noticed opening crew member created reportedly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'opening' could be 'hole' (hole is a kind of opening) and 'hole' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wholesaler that I've seen before include "One supplying retailers in bulk" , "firm that supplies in bulk" , "Merchant" , "Supplier to the trade" , "Bulk trader" .)
