SHAREHOLDERS in Irn-Bru maker AG Barr have been told they will not be able to attend the company’s forthcoming annual meeting in person.
The soft drinks giant said continuing restrictions to halt the spread of coronavirus dictates the AGM will be held behind closed doors at its Cumbernauld headquarters on June 25. It encouraged shareholders to vote on resolutions tabled by the board using their proxy forms. Details were contained in the AGM notice. Barr said the meeting would be convened with the minimum necessary quorum of two shareholders.
Meanwhile, Tennent’s Lager owner C&C Group admits some staff in Scotland may not switch from Glasgow to Edinburgh following a review of its supply chain and distribution operation. The review will result in Tennent’s opening a new 50,000 square foot warehouse and distribution in Newbridge, near Edinburgh. However, it will consolidate its Matthew Clark Glasgow warehouse and transport operation into the Tennent’s facility in Cambuslang and the Newbridge site. C&C’s Andrea Pozzi said: “While overall we are creating a small number of new roles, we recognise that some colleagues in Glasgow may decide that they are unable to transfer to our new facility in Edinburgh.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
