150 Years of Crieff Hydro C
rieff Hydro opened its doors to guests in 1868, making it Scotland’s oldest registered trading company at the grand
old age of 150. Beginning as a hydropathic establishment, it started life as a place of clean eating, strict dining times and
chilly hydrotherapy treatments. One hundred and fifty years on, guests are more likely to be zooming around on Scotland’s largest fleet of Segways, sipping on gin and indulging their taste buds in one of six places to eat. One thing that remains the same is the lineage behind the hotel. Current
CEO Stephen Leckie is the great-great- great-grandnephew of founder Dr Thomas Henry Meikle. The hotel hosts events for up to 400 people in the form of weddings, conferences, team building days, awards ceremonies and has a full month of Christmas party nights.

New Glasgow-based property management company BOHO is set to open its first property in the city along the Clydeside next September. BOHO has been set up
by property-developer Structured House Group to manage its portfolio of properties including student, hotel and residential developments. Its flagship development
is Scotway House, a purpose-built student accommodation next to the Riverside Museum
along Glasgow’s historic harbour and the former site of Meadowside Shipyard office.
BOHO will manage and run the building that will house around 400 students when it opens its doors in September 2019. A first glimpse inside the modern, tech-savvy and character-filled property was released with CGI images of what students can expect as it launched its booking service for the academic year 2019.
Barrhead Travel has embarked on a staff training initiative in partnership with Glasgow Clyde College to support its growth strategy. The management sees recruitment and retention as core to ambitious expansion plans, with learning and development the key driver. With more than 1000 members of staff, Barrhead Travel wants to reward existing long- serving managers with a qualification that will enhance their skills. Managers will get 40 hours of paid time out of the business to focus on their studies.
Nine senior staff from support divisions, such as
Sharon Munro, President, Barrhead Travel
business development and marketing, will complete a First Line Management qualification with the Chartered Management Institute. Additionally, 16 staff members will be put through the Level Three Coaching and Mentoring qualification with the Chartered Management Institute. These two-year courses will be supported by Glasgow Clyde College as Barrhead Travel’s external training provider and partner.
