Martha’s “Martha’s launched as Glasgow’s fi rst healthy fast-food restaurant in November 2011. Martha’s has been a member of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce from the start and this year alone we’ve saved £1,000 through the membership. The saving allowed me to invest in a direct marketing campaign that generated new customers for Martha’s and positive business growth.”
Gavin Clark, Managing Director, Martha’s
Barr + Wray “More than 40 per cent of Barr + Wray’s business will come from overseas this year and there is no doubt we wouldn’t be enjoying such success in international markets if it weren’t for the support of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has made it much easier for us to do business around the globe, from providing us with vital documentation such as Certifi cates of Origin, to delivering priceless training on creating letters of credit and positioning exporting at the heart of our corporate strategy.” Alister MacDonald, Managing Director, Barr + Wray Ltd
