Diageo has unveiled help for its customers through phone lines so they can access financial assistance, equipment care and also live online training.

For the foreseeable future, many venues and operators face uncertainty. However, Diageo is committed to supporting publicans during this time:

Drinks industry information phone line

This new phone line will help independent licensed business owners in GB and will provide information on how to access tax relief and commercial measures announced by UK Government.

The phone line, 0207 728 2556, is now available and free to call. You can also email Publican.Support@uk.gt.com.

Provided by Grant Thornton UK LLP, a leading business and financial adviser, the line will provide information to customers from both the on and off-trade.

Beer quality and looking after your lines

The Diageo Quality Contact Centre remains open and fully operational for its customers. Its trained operatives are working remotely, but the existing phone number is fully live, ensuring its customers see no change in service levels. You can call on 0845 751 5101.

Head of Guinness Quality Adam Miller says: “Care for draught beer lines is vital and cleaning should be thorough, ensuring no beer or yeast remains before lines are disconnected. Once cleaned, all dispense lines should be blown through, it is important that the lines are not left charged with either water or cleaning fluid as this can cause irrevocable damage to the system. You can speak with one of our quality engineers by calling up the QCT.”
