Dear Mr. Smith,

Thank you for taking time to write to us following our announcement on July 1st, regarding the proposals for the restructuring of Diageo’s Scottish business.

Diageo has undertaken an exhaustive review across all our manufacturing locations in Scotland and it is with regret that we have announced proposals for the closure of the packaging plant in Kilmarnock over a two-year period, and Port Dundas distillery in 2010. 

These proposals have been made to ensure the long-term sustainability of our business in Scotland. 

With over 4000 employees in Scotland we are very proud of the skill and dedication of our workforce and remain committed to our business in Scotland.

Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky will continue to be produced exclusively in Scotland and we are devoted to maintaining its strong international growth, as we are with all Diageo drinks brands.

If you require any further information regarding the proposed plans please visit www.diageo.com/scotland.

Kind regards,

Gráinne
DIAGEO Consumer Careline
