Stunning new Glasgow showcase for Orcadian


jewellery designer Orkney jewellery designer Sheila Fleet OBE has opened a new shop within Glasgow’s award-winning retail and leisure destination, Princes Square. The new store promises customers a unique retail experience, one reflecting the jewellery designer’s island homeland and the themes that define her work.


Months in planning and development, the shop – situated on the first floor of Princes Square – has been fitted out to an exceptionally high


standard, with the textures, shapes and colours of the Orkney sea, sky and land providing inspiration for the interior design. Work on the new store has been overseen by Sheila Fleet, her son Martin and his wife Mairi, with Orcadian artist and interior designer, Marion Yorston, helping transform the vision for the space into a reality. Curved walls, pebble shapes and colours, seaweed sculptures, wave elements and curtains of light are just some of the features visitors to the shop can expect to see.


Conference, Meetings and Events have enjoyed an array of events and a growing conferencing team. They have hosted over 2,700 events and welcomed more than 150,000 delegates through the revolving door at the TIC on George Street. The past four years has not only seen them welcome


some thought-provoking events, but also win awards for their outstanding conference centre. Firstly, winning ‘Best Academic Venue – Gold’ at the Meetings & Incentive Travel Awards, followed by Bronze in 2019.


Furthermore, they won ‘Best Events Management Team’ at CN Academic Venues awards – celebrating the hard work of their customer-focused team. Sustainability has


become a buzz word for the conference centre over the past four years. Their efforts so far have seen them accredited with ‘Gold Green Tourism’ and the team will continue to implement more sustainable practices throughout the venue.


The SSE Hydro’s new VIP lounge


The SSE Hydro launches A-list experience for fans


The SSE Hydro has launched a new VIP lounge which allows fans to upgrade their concert and event experience. Existing ticket holders


can now have the option of upgrading their visit with access to the Clubhouse – a new hospitality area tucked away from the main hub of the public spaces.


The Clubhouse


experience includes early access and exclusive entry, a dedicated table for the evening and a street food inspired menu, all with unique views out to and across the arena. This is a £500k investment by the Scottish Event Campus brought about by the success of their existing hospitality offerings.
