<dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;Barr Soft Drinks has been making, moving, marketing and selling some of the UK’s best-loved soft drinks brands for over 140 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;The first Barr family soft drinks business was established in Falkirk in 1875 and was soon followed by a second family business in Glasgow in 1887. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;In 1901 both Barr soft drinks businesses, Robert Barr Falkirk and A.G. Barr and Co. Glasgow, jointly launched their original recipe IRON BREW.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt;&quot;&gt;The phonetic spelling IRN-BRU was introduced in 1947 following concern over proposed changes to food labelling regulations and IRN-BRU has since gone on to become the much loved and popular brand that it is today. Still made to its original secret recipe, IRN-BRU sits alongside our wide range of popular soft drinks brands, including Tizer, Barr’s Originals, Strathmore spring water and Rubicon. With over £50m invested across the site over the last 10 years, our Cumbernauld facility incorporates our head office, a state of the art manufacturing facility as well as a modern automated high-bay warehouse and logistics operation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
