They have worked to make the Johnnie Walker label world famous. If Diageo go ahead and close the whisky plant in Kilmarnock, they may as well roll up the carpet and put the lights out in Kilmarnock. Its a disgrace that employers have no consideration for their hard working employees. Most with mortgages and commitments to the town. SHAME ON YOU !!!!!

He believed that the firm grew with a quality product, loyal workforce and hard fought place in the Market. In my opinion, to take it away from its roots reduces it to a 'brand' and removes its soul.

Your not running a comany on a loss, so by closing it you send out a message, we are greedy and want more to hell with good hard working people.

Although it's horribly unjust, the hard-working folks of Kilmarnock are nothing but numbers on a page to the executives of Diageo.

On every flight, in every international Duty Free shop, in bars all over the world the Johnnie Walker brand and products are strongly represented. What on earth has prompted this half arsed decision?

I will continue my support of your brands only with your complete support of their heritage. For most, this is the very basis for interest in the consumption of unique flavors from around the world. A sharing of the history and culture of the location. This tradition should be expanded upon, not eschewed.

The " facilities" were just round the corner from where I use to live in Wellington Street. I could see JW,s from my bedroom window. I hope Diageo rethink about the situation and maybe perhaps with Gods will there might be a solution to this dilemma.
