Buchanan Galleries 10 CHAMBER CHAT
With Colum Fraser, Events and Communications Executive, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce
BUSINESS Describe your role/job? I assist with the planning and delivering of Chamber events, and with the Chamber’s various communication channels. What skills do you bring to the table/are required in your role? I like writing and designing, and I like new things – food and places. I have an odd passion for writing in HTML. It’s great to see a bunch of codey nonsense turn into a nice-looking webpage. I also bring a beard. What has been your career highpoint? We exceeded 10,000 followers on Twitter in November last year. We also delivered an event every morning of the Commonwealth Games on different aspects of Glasgow. It was a great experience and the city was buzzing.
What’s the best thing about Glasgow Chamber of Commerce? The work is very varied, so you get away from the desk a lot. Also, the team are great chat. What one thing would you wish for Glasgow in the future? Success in every single way.
PERSONAL What do you do to relax at the weekend? See my friends, eat nice food and indulge my medium-sized gaming addiction. What is your favourite city outside the UK? Berlin. It has the perfect balance of beer, good humour and imaginatively cooked bits of pork. Name your favourite book, film and album? Excession by Iain M. Banks, The Winter of Mixed
Drinks by Frightened Rabbit and Boots Met my Face by Admiral Fallow (I don’t have a favourite film, so I chose two albums). What is your most embarrassing or humbling experience? I revised tonnes for one exam in my finals, turned up and realised it was the wrong one. I failed it. Badly. If you could host a dinner party with four guests (two living, two dead), who would you choose?
Iain Banks, Niccolo Machiavelli, Charlie Brooker and Paul Mason.
