William Grant. They are the brand behind, um, Glenfiddich whiskey and Hendrick's Gin. Um, they are on the West Coast of Scotland. Um, so we went on the ground and we understood, just very rapidly, within a few days, what their challenges were. And in their case, the issue was a production loss. When a machine goes out of whack and something breaks, they were spending about 38% of their time in emergency and corrective fixes.
