In April 2010, C&C announced it was selling its Spirits & Liqueurs division to Scottish distillers [[William Grant & Sons]] for €300m. This would be used to pay down debt built up from the Tennent's and Gaymer's purchases. The division's 57 staff, it was announced, would transfer with the business on disposal. It was also revealed that William Grant, whose brands include [[Glenfiddich]] Scotch Whisky and [[Hendrick's Gin]], would operate the division's packaging facility located at the group's manufacturing site in Annerville, on the outskirts of Clonmel, [[County Tipperary]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Everest in panoramic HD |url=http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/plan-to-sell-spirits-division-sends-cc-shares-soaring-2161002.html |title=Plan to sell spirits division sends C&C shares soaring – Irish, Business |publisher=Independent.ie |access-date=2012-12-22}}</ref>
