A whisky distillery in Northumberland has been given the green light to be built after funds needed for the project were approved. Work on Ad Gefrin, situated in the north of the county in Wooler, will now get underway as soon as possible after over £4.5 million was given for the scheme – the first venture to be created as part of the Borderlands Programme for Northumberland. “This is extremely welcome news which will bring more jobs, investment and visitors to this beautiful part of our county,” said Glen Sanderson, Leader of Northumberland County Council. “We’ve worked so hard behind the scenes to support this fantastic project and we’re looking forward to seeing construction start imminently and hopefully open for business by the end of next year.”
