Business visits to help Council leader focus support efforts
Fact finding Glasgow Chamber of Commerce is facilitating a business visit programme for Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council. The visits will take place over the coming
months and the focus is to enable Councillor Matheson to experience Glasgow businesses and their business operations, including success stories
and issues faced. Councillor Matheson will also use the visits as an opportunity to meet staff and to discuss any actions that could be taken from a city perspective to support business. Chamber Chief Executive Stuart Patrick will accompany Councillor Matheson on the visits. The first of the visits took place in September where Councillor Matheson met Chamber
President Varry McMenemy at Bellcom Worldwide’s headquarters on Waterloo Street, Glasgow.
