(Although no longer the largest brewery in the world, it is still the largest brewer of stout in the world.) During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the brewery owned most of the buildings in the surrounding area, including many streets of housing for brewery employees, and offices associated with the brewery.

History of ownership

The grandson of the original Arthur Guinness, Sir Benjamin Guinness, was Lord Mayor of Dublin and was created a baronet in 1867, only to die the next year. His eldest son Arthur, Baron Ardilaun (1840–1915), sold control of the brewery to Sir Benjamin's third son Edward (1847–1927), who became 1st Earl of Iveagh. Iveagh launched the company on the London Stock Exchange in 1886. Up until then the only other partners outside of the Guinness family, were members of the Purser family who helped run the brewery throughout most of the nineteenth century.

He, his son and great-grandson, the 2nd and 3rd Earls, chaired the Guinness company until the 3rd earl's death in 1992. Due to changes in company law in the Irish Free State, the company was forced to move its headquarters to London in 1932. In 1983 a non-family chief executive Ernest Saunders was appointed and arranged the reverse take-over of the leading Scotch whisky producer Distillers in 1986. Saunders was then asked to resign following revelations that the Guinness stock price had probably been illegally manipulated (see Guinness share-trading fraud). As Distillers was worth more than Guinness plc, the Guinness family shareholding in the merged company went below 10%, and today no member of the family sits on the board. The company then merged with Grand Metropolitan to form Diageo PLC, capitalised in 2006 at about 40 billion Euros.
