Holiday Inn Glasgow
Scotlands largest city, Glasgow has a fascinating history
, numerous arts venues and the second largest economy in Scotland, with over 12,000 successful companies. This, plus its well-deserved title of Scotlands Friendly City have led to it becoming a Mecca for people to live and work. We at Holiday Inn, Glasgow, have no fewer than three venues for meetings and functions.Glasgow, once regarded as a centre for urban decay, it is now the third richest city in the UK after London and Edinburgh, with four universities churning out a constant stream of scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs. In Victorian times, it was decreed that even the poorest children should be able to read and write even today, it has an enviable number of schools, colleges and centres of further education, with an arts scene to rival Edinburgh.
Glasgow grew to prominence in the Industrial era; today it is still booming, with tens of thousands of new jobs created each year. A centre for finance and industry, it has an economic growth rate second only to London. Unlike many cities, it has held on to some of its heavier industries, with shipbuilding continuing to be of major importance. Other traditional areas of commerce include brewing, print works, engineering, manufacturing and textile plants.
Glasgow also has a diverse number of companies covering the finance, business services, communications, biosciences, technology, healthcare, education and performing arts sectors. Together with retail, tourism and banking these bring in enormous revenue, with billions invested each year. Glasgows high tech enterprises make it part of the Silicon Glen area, but despite prestigious new developments like the Glasgow Science Centre and Glasgow Tower (Scotlands tallest building) the city has not neglected its history and heritage. Museums, art galleries and heritage buildings vie with the chic new shopping malls, and towers of the business district.
With a large number of fund raising and charity events, as well as a burgeoning residential population, booking conference rooms for business and private functions is an everyday part of Glaswegian life. With us at Holiday Inn, Glasgow people have three superb venues for their business or private events.
