Chivas Brothers Opens New Head Office
Chivas Brothers, the Scotch whisky business of Pernod Ricard, has opened a new 27,000 sq ft head office in the centre of Glasgow. Jean-Christophe Coutures, chairman and chief executive of Chivas Brothers, says: “We need to keep moving with the times and this is the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for Chivas Brothers as we continue to explore new ways to work better, more efficiently and creatively. It’s in that spirit of ambition that we’ve made this move to Glasgow, which will propel us into the next phase of growth and give our teams greater flexibility, adaptability, and ability to innovate. Our investment in the city is a vote of confidence in the future of scotch, in the city of Glasgow, and the strength of the Scottish economy.”
Chivas Brothers is nearing completion of its new £50 million bottling facility at its Kilmalid site in Dumbarton. Once fully operational in 2020, the new packaging hall will have the capacity to bottle up to one million bottles of Scotch whisky every day.
