Green light for Diageo鈥檚 Baileys expansion at Belfast site

The site supplies Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur across the world at its production and bottling plant

Lesley Allen, Operations Manager, Baileys Mallusk and Robert Murphy, Head Of Baileys Operations celebrate the approval of planning permission for an extension of the Global Supply Facility in Mallusk.

A global thirst for Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur will see the brand’s owner expand its Belfast production site in a £26 million investment.

Antrim and Newtownabbey Brough Council has granted planning permission to parent company Diageo for the development at its Mallusk site on the outskirts of the city. It will likely allow the firm to boost production at the state-of-the-art facility which is one of three Diageo sites across Northern Ireland

Opened in 2003, it already produces, bottles and labels bottles of the iconic liqeur at the facility and produces some 60 million bottles every year. Around 97% of that is exported to more than 150 countries.

Diageo said work on the “multi-year” project will begin in 2024.

“We are delighted with the Council’s decision to approve our plans to extend our site at Mallusk,” Lesley Allen, Operations Manager at Baileys Mallusk, said. “The extension will support the storage, delivery and distribution of raw materials and finished goods and we are looking forward to the opportunities it will create for us.

“Baileys makes a considerable contribution to the local economy in Northern Ireland, and over 97% of our output is shipped around the world. We are confident that the planned extension will support Diageo’s wider growth strategy, building on the £40m investment we made in opening the site in 2003 and the ongoing investments to further develop the facility and the Baileys brand.”

The Baileys site is one of three Diageo sites in Northern Ireland, which also includes a beer canning and packaging facility in East Belfast and its corporate headquarters located in Belfast city centre.
