Thousands of people took to the streets of Kilmarnock, Scotland, yesterday to protest about drinks maker Diageo’s proposed job cuts.
Kilmarnock has been linked with whisky label Johnnie Walker since 1820, but the drinks giant intends to move bottling out of the town, with the loss of 700 jobs.
Diageo has said the redundancies, intended to save £20m a year, would be offset by the creation of 400 jobs at its packaging plant in Fife.
