La Martiniquaise-Bardinet to close Hooghoudt distillery
La Martiniquaise-Bardinet plans to close its recently acquired Hooghoudt distillery in Groningen, the Netherlands, by the end of 2025. The French spirits group, known for brands such as Glen Moray and Cutty Sark, will relocate production to its facility in Ghent, Belgium. In a statement on LinkedIn, the Benelux unit of the group said: "The Hooghoudt brand will continue to exist as normal after the relocation of production.' The Ghent site, which will start producing Hooghoudt brands from 2026 is 'known for its expertise in the production of Dutch spirits and guarantees that the quality of Hooghoudt's products will remain unchanged', the unit added. La Martiniquaise-Bardinet acquired the Hooghoudt distillery in May. At the time, Lieven Stevens, managing director of La Martiniquaise Benelux said the acquisition 'significantly strengthens its market position in the Netherlands'. Without disclosing the number of employees that will be affected by the closure, La Martiniquaise's Benelux business said it is 'aware of the impact of these plans on its employees and their families' and that trade unions had been informed. "In any case, La Martiniquaise Benelux intends to remain committed to its ties with Groningen, the birthplace of the Hooghoudt brand. Cooperation with local partners will continue unabated, as will contacts with existing and new relations," the business said. The closure coincides with La Martiniquaise-Bardinet's acquisition of a majority stake in UK-based Warner's Distillery, announced yesterday (22 July). Warner's spirits will sit alongside the likes of Glen Moray and Cutty Sark whiskies and Bardinet Brandy. The French spirits heavyweight also produces two gin brands, Generous Gin and Gibson's. When asked about the group's growth plans for the UK and oversees by Just Drinks, co-founder Tina Warner said: 'There are great opportunities to grow locally across the UK on and off trade and internationally capitalising on areas of white space in some of Europe's bigger gin markets where we are currently not available.' La Martiniquaise-Bardinet will also takeover distribution of Warner's drinks in the UK from Sazerac, she added. Warner's offers a variety of gins, a spiced rum, and two non-alcoholic spirits. It also produces a multi-spirits range called Trash & Treasure, featuring flavoured rums and vodkas. Warner's products are sold in 30 countries, including the US, Australia, and UAE.

Lorraine Kelly shook 'like a leaf' as she climbed 25-metre mast
Lorraine Kelly said she was 'shaking like a leaf' as she scaled the mast of an historic ship that previously ventured to Antarctica, before abseiling to the ground. She joined fellow presenter Dan Snow in a race up the 25-metre mast of the RSS Discovery in Dundee on Friday, with Snow reaching the top first by a few minutes. The feat aimed to emulate the working conditions the ship's original crew faced when it voyaged to Antarctica 124 years ago, albeit they endured harsh weather conditions and no modern safety precautions. Led by the Dundee Heritage Trust, the Discovery Mast Climb will be open for daring members of the public to experience in the autumn. PA Media Lorraine Kelly climbed the mast of the RRS Discovery in Dundee. After reaching the top, both TV stars waved for the cameras below. Snow spoke into the microphone of a camera drone above, with little-to-no fear in his voice. The Discovery Mast Climb is expected to draw attention from all over the world, and is the only experience of its kind in Scotland. The Cutty Sark in London and SS Great Britain in Bristol offer a similar challenge. After completing the climb, Kelly told the PA news agency: 'The experience in general was absolutely terrifying and the only reason I think I got through it was because Dan Snow was doing it as well. 'He looked so calm as he was shimmying up the rigging. 'That made me feel a bit better, but I'm not good with heights, so it was scary, I was shaking like a leaf, but it's really good to be back on dry land.' Kelly, a patron of the Dundee Heritage Trust alongside Snow, added: 'The Discovery ship is beautiful, she's the symbol of Dundee. I'm obsessed with all things Antarctica, and she went to Antarctica. 'She's an old girl so she needs a lot of maintenance, and obviously that costs a lot of money. 'This was all about raising awareness of the Discovery and letting everyone in Dundee have a look at her.' She said the experience also highlighted Scotland's former ties to the whaling industry, which was abolished in Scotland in 1963. She said: 'Dundee's links with Antarctica and South Georgia are very important, and this whole weekend is really about that. It's about looking back on the whaling industry, which was a big part of the city, and looking forward to the fact that we don't do that anymore – thank goodness – and we're trying to save these beautiful animals, so it's a celebration of the future.' Asked if she would consider such a climb again, Kelly joked: 'I don't think I'll ever do anything like that again. I'll leave that to the experts.'
