“GLASGOW IS AMBITIOUS, INVENTIVE AND WELCOMING”
Councillor Frank McAveety, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “There’s never been a more exciting time to be in Glasgow. Bursting with life, energy, passion and personality, we’re undoubtedly Scotland’s creative, cultural and economic capital.
“Our city brand is PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW - and it’s the truth. We’re blazing a trail globally across diverse sectors, from life sciences, engineering, tourism and major events to higher and further education, financial services, manufacturing and design, and low carbon industries. We’re one of the world’s top five sporting
cities; we’re the 2016 European Entrepreneurial Region of the Year and we’ve been voted one of the world’s 20 best destinations for 2016 by travel bible National Geographic Traveller. “Glasgow is ambitious,
inventive, entrepreneurial and welcoming because our people and businesses are – which is why we’re delighted to be continuing
our support of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and The Herald’s Inspiring City Awards for the fourth consecutive year. These awards provide the perfect platform through which to recognise those outstanding individuals and organisations that are positively shaping the cultural and economic fabric of the city for both today and tomorrow’s generations.”
