At least 80 jobs under threat as Diageo seeks to save €8m
Staff were briefed on the plans yesterday, understood to be aimed at cutting €8 million from annual payroll costs. This is believed to equate to around one-fifth of costs in the affected areas, meaning the potential loss of at least 80 jobs.
Out of 1,700 people employed by Diageo in the Republic and Northern Ireland, 400 work in the areas to be impacted, including sales, marketing and support roles such as human resources and finance. Most of these staff are based at Diageo Ireland’s Dublin headquarters at St James’s Gate.
