The Glasgow Business Awards 2019
The Leader of Glasgow City Council paid tribute to the ‘rich diversity’ of businesses and organisations across the city at the 22nd Glasgow Business Awards held in the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central
Over 600 guests from companies and organisations enjoyed a gala dinner and awards ceremony organised by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and hosted by comedian Fred MacAulay, with Royal Bank of Scotland as the main sponsor. Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City
Council, in welcoming the guests, said the awards were “a celebration of the rich diversity of the city’s economy”. She applauded the innovation, entrepreneurialism and creativity, coupled with sheer hard work, which was ensuring that Glasgow continues to drive one of the most vibrant economies in the UK. Looking back to the first business awards in 1997,
Councillor Aitken said the city has come a long way in this time after it survived and then thrived from an earlier turbulent chapter in its history. She told
the guests they were now celebrating the fruits of the city’s growth and international standing. “The Glasgow of today in 2019 is a world leader in life sciences, quantum and space technology, the creative industries and whether it is hospitality, culture or sport, the world knows about Glasgow – and wants to know more.” Stuart Patrick, Chief Executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, said that despite the political morass: “You can be certain that businesses in Glasgow are adapting, adjusting and getting on with providing jobs, growing our economy and making good returns for investors.” He thanked Royal Bank of Scotland for its
continued support and for hosting a reception of all the finalists.
