The Glenmorangie Company is home to the award-winning Glenmorangie and Ardbeg Single Scotch Malt Whisky, regarded as two of the world’s most respected and inspiring single malt brands.
The company was founded in 1843 and is today owned by Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton (LVMH). Our headquarters are in central Edinburgh, with offices and a state-of the-art bottling facility in nearby Livingston, West Lothian. Employing 230 people across 5 separate locations in Scotland, including our beautiful award-winning distilleries in Tain & Islay.
Glenmorangie is a business founded on patience and painstaking attention to detail. Tradition is our lifeblood, yet innovation courses just as strongly through our veins. While we’ll never hurry our whiskies, The Glenmorangie Company is often first to try new ideas in the development, production and marketing of our brands. We place people at the heart of everything we do and use principles of innovation and sustainability to drive continuous improvement across all aspects of our business to help us achieve Business Excellence at every stage of the process.
Last November we were delighted to launch our Glenmorangie Apprentice Academy with the recruitment of 6 of the 12 apprentices we require to be the next generation of production associates who will help us achieve our ambitious growth plans at our bottling production site in Livingston. Our internal Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) have created interactive learning sessions which will give our employees a solid understanding of our entire business. A comprehensive 6-week induction programme gives our apprentices a learning journey to give them an understanding of what it means to be a luxury brand whilst at the same time respecting the history of Glenmorangie and the future of whisky industry, from cask to glass. Because our work-based learning modules have been created by our internal experts, it enables them to coach and develop our apprentices to have a full understanding of our amazing product creation and processes; our efficient manufacturing techniques and how we control production to ensure a consistent, high quality product for our customers whilst always striving to improve and underpinned by our strong company values. This two-year development programme will result in a professional Scottish Vocational Qualification in Spirits & Operations that will give our new generation of production associates a solid platform for success within our industry and enable them to harness lifelong career opportunities.
Most recently our state of the art production site at Alba has successfully been awarded three prestige business awards, two from West Lothian Chamber – Best Business and Best Environmental – and for the second year in a row, the Centre Engineering Excellence and Design Best Practice Sharing Award. We believe these fantastic achievements give excellent recognition to our teams who have benefitted from opportunities through our continued investment in our people development programs by embracing digitalisation and Industry 4.0 and giving us opportunities to keep us at the forefront of our industry. By continually developing our people to be the very best they can be, we can ensure our business has the mindset to evolve through this industrial evolution and ensure a sustainable business for the future.
