A Staffordshire engineering business is playing a key part in helping to build a Scottish whisky distillery's new base.

Briggs of Burton has won a contract on the multi-million Argdown Distillery project which is being built near Inverkip, west of Glasgow.

The Burton business - which provides engineering solutions to leading blue chip companies across the world - will lead the design and production of distillation equipment at the new distillery.

Work is due to start on the flagship distillery and visitor centre next year and Briggs is supporting Ardgowan to make sure that each part of the whisky making process is designed so that new technologies can be adapted to provide the latest innovations in energy reduction, heat recovery and CO2 capture as they become available.

It forms part of the distillery's plan to be carbon negative by 2024.

George Crombie, engineering director at Briggs, said: "It is important that as technology advances the distillery is built in a way that it can adapt and grow with innovative new technologies to futureproof the sustainability of the industry.

"We are delighted to be working alongside Ardgowan Distillery to bring this greener vision to life which not only meets their sustainability and production targets now but future proofs for advancements in years to come.
