The Herald and Glasgow Chamber of Commerce are delighted to be working with Glasgow’s award-winning city brand – PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW to host this year’s Inspiring City Awards, celebrating and rewarding the people and organisations that make Glasgow great. Glasgow has a long and distinguished history of innovators, pioneers and traders who have made their mark on the world stage. As two of the city’s most trusted and respected institutions we thought it was time to recognise the new generation of citizens who are making a tremendous contribution to the cultural and economic climate of Glasgow.

The Chief Executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, Stuart Patrick, discussed the partnership between The Herald and Glasgow Chamber; “Two of the city’s longest-lived institutions are again joining forces with the city’s award-winning PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW brand to celebrate the people and organisations which contribute freely to the culture and economy of the city – to the benefit of all citizens. With these awards, the partnership of the Chamber and The Herald is providing a high-profile platform to reinforce this commitment.”

The Inspiring City Awards are aimed at recognising those truly remarkable individuals, businesses and organisations that consistently go the extra mile to ensure Glasgow continues to flourish. From those inspiring action in their local community to those enhancing the city’s reputation internationally, people make Glasgow, which is why the city is delighted to be continuing its support for these important awards.

Alison McRae, Senior Director at Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, gave comment on the DYW association with the awards and how the awards allow for the people and businesses of Glasgow to get the recognition they deserve: “Developing the Young Workforce Glasgow is delighted to be associated with the Inspiring City awards for our third year. These awards are a really special event as they allow us to recognise examples of real innovation around youth employment: where our businesses have been pioneering and gone the extra mile for the young people in our city.

The Inspiring City Awards – PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW will take place on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Glasgow Central.
