GLASGOW BUSINESS AWARDS
GLASGOW SCHOOL FOR BUSINESS AND SOCIETY, GLASGOW CALEDONIAN
UNIVERSITY SPONSOR OF THE GLASGOW BUSINESS AWARD FOR BEST PERFORMING BUSINESS (OVER 25 EMPLOYEES)
The university is a new school with a proud heritage.
Our origins date back to 1875 but our thinking and ambitions have never stood still. We have always changed with the times and that is why, in August 2011, business, law and social sciences were brought together and a new school was established – Glasgow School for Business and Society – reflecting the fact that business and society are inextricably related. Through leading edge research, professional
body accreditation and opportunities for work placements, we support our 4500 students, drawn from home and abroad, at our locations in Glasgow and London. We encourage them to be creative in their thinking, international in their outlook and innovative and entrepreneurial in their actions. Taking inspiration from our University motto “For the Common Weal”, we also expect our students, and ourselves, to be responsible global citizens and we are signatories to the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Management Education. Our students can study and research in
generic areas, such as business or management or social sciences or in niche areas, including accountancy, banking, investment and risk, international fashion branding, international retail marketing, luxury brand marketing, international tourism, multimedia journalism, business law,
criminology, sociology, history and politics. Glasgow School for Business and Society is
proud to support Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and we are delighted to sponsor the Glasgow Business Award for Best Performing Business (over 25 employees).

GTG Training is especially proud of its strong links with Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and the city’s leading businesses. We believe that GTG is the first choice training provider for so many successful, expanding businesses because we understand that businesses are not purchasing “just training” they are purchasing trained people. Our offer to client partners is training in order to provide them with people who have gained new capabilities to contribute even more to their organisations, people who have gained the ability to progress and advance within their employing organisations and people who have gained the abilities which will provide demonstrable return for a training investment. We believe that this not only enhances their own personal success but that it also strengthens the prospects of success for their employer. GTG Training is delighted to be a category
sponsor for the Glasgow Business Awards for a further year and wish all the finalists the very best of success.
