Diageo signals more job cuts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.DIAGEO yesterday signalled further job cuts in addition to the 3,000 already announced, though none will be in the UK. The food and drinks giant reported its maiden set of full-year figures, which were scarred by the effects of the Asian crisis and the strong pound. Cost savings arising from the merger will be pounds 290m rather than the pounds 195m previously stated. However, the group warned that profits at its Pillsbury food business will be lower in the first half of the current year. Diageo shares fell 21p to 497p.
