A rejig of drinks giant Diageo's supply chain is to result in the axing of 80 jobs in Scotland, most of them managerial posts.
The company, which makes Johnnie Walker whisky and Smirnoff vodka, said the changes would be implemented by the middle of 2014.
The company said: "To ensure the business in Scotland remains competitive the review identified opportunities to simplify processes and organisation at local levels which will result in a proposed reduction of around 80 roles across Diageo's 50 sites in Scotland.
