	Interview with Richard Burrows, Pernod Ricard: TWST
		By the end of the 1990’s, Pernod Ricard was a major company within the drinks business, but also had its interests in soft drinks, in groceries distribution, in fruit preparations and in a number of other businesses.
		That caused for Pernod Ricard a major revision of strategy and decision to go firmly after the Seagram business in partnership with Diago, but also, in order to fund that, to focus on the core business of Pernod Ricard, which is wines and spirits.
		So therefore I would say Pernod Ricard, to the investor, offers the opportunity of getting into an industry which is quite defensive in the sense that it is not going to be subject to significant volatility as recession bites.
