Top marks. Well done Diageo

[TheWM]

I'm gonna be the grumpy cynic. They should be doing this already. Christ they make enough money and the government gives enough incentives to take on apprentices and so forth.

Rant over.

[Charlie]

I do see your point WM, but they do take apprentices when required and are fully staffed throughout their visitor centres so this is in addition to that so good on them.

[albo]

I too see your point WM, but the fact is they are actually doing it. I don't see many (any?) of the other big players doing it, so rather than having a go at them for doing somehting, lets be positive towards them in the hope that a) they do more and b) others follow.
