Innovative business surgeries launched in Glasgow Print E-mail
Wednesday, 10 October 2007

As part of efforts to bolster Glasgow’s economic regeneration, the leader of Glasgow City Council, Steven Purcell, has announced a regular series of surgeries to be held with business leaders from the area. 

These surgeries are the first of their kind in Scotland and will allow businesses of any size to talk face-to-face with the council leader. The surgeries are to be held on the first Friday afternoon of each month and are modelled on councillors' constitutency surgeries.

Purcell said: "Our aim is to make Glasgow the most business-friendly city in the country, and to be known around the world as a place where companies can flourish.

"I am taking personal responsibility, as the leader of Glasgow City Council, for ensuring that the private sector is able to access the politicians and officials who make decisions that affect them.

"This is a natural progression of the quarterly meetings I've been having with Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and the business community in the city over the last two years. These meetings are held at a strategic level, and the new scheduled surgeries will allow businesses to bring specific issues or problems to Glasgow City Council to my attention."

Glasgow Chamber of Commerce chief executive Dr Lesley Sawers said: "We believe Glasgow is leading the way through a partnership between the City Council and the Chamber in delivering scheduled business surgeries.

"The new surgeries will allow individual business people to have a direct dialogue with Councillor Purcell, ensuring the city and business continue to work in partnership, on a common agenda, to deliver growth and prosperity."

All surgeries are by appointment and can be booked by contacting Glasgow Chamber of Commerce on 0141 204 2121 or via email on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
