To great applause, Lord Smith of Kelvin KT CH was given the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce Award for Lifetime Achievement, after an introduction from President Neil Amner which acknowledged Lord Smith’s multiple business achievements. He said: “Can I just thank all of you, including Glasgow Chamber, for honouring me in this way. As you’ve heard, I
belong to Glasgow. I was born here, I was educated here and got my qualifications here and then went off to seek my fortune. I then came back to work for Royal Bank of Scotland, not in 1783 but in 1983. Still a long time ago. Glasgow made me and it’s been great to give something back. While
I belong to Glasgow, maybe a wee bit of Glasgow belongs to me!”
