This project requires a contractor with a strong and demonstrable track record of producing creative, high-quality exhibition stands to an international business audience along with exemplary customer care and attention to detail.

The attraction of capital investment to support the city’s infrastructure is a key component of Glasgow’s economic strategy and has been identified by the Council as a priority to increase productivity, secure jobs and attract inward investment. Invest Glasgow is responsible for attracting investment and promoting the city and wider region as one of the most business-friendly locations in the UK and Europe. Consequently, Invest Glasgow has regularly attended major real estate events to promote development opportunities for the city.

Signifying the importance of such events to our investment strategy, senior officials, politicians and city and regional partners attend as part of the “Team Glasgow” delegation and, importantly, have identified the need to ensure that the quality of our stand reflects our world-class offer through exceptional design. This requires the support of specialist stand designers/builders.
