On the occasion of the Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman The Lord Mountevans’ visit to Scotland, Anglo-Eastern (UK) Limited were delighted to welcome The Lord Mayor to their office in Glasgow where they hosted a luncheon to shine a light on the marine and engineering activities in the West of Scotland. The Lord Mayor, principally in his role as ambassador for financial and professional services but also as the former Chairman of Maritime UK and Chairman of Maritime London. He was accompanied by Doug Barrow, Chief Executive of Maritime London.
The Lord Mayor spends a large amount of his time promoting UK services around the world so this was an excellent opportunity for him to be briefed about the West of Scotland maritime cluster and the services they offer within the UK and globally.
The delegation consisted of eighteen senior executives from: Shipbuilders, Ship Managers, Ferry Operators, Specialist Support Service Providers, Trainers, Classification Societies, Naval Architects, Marine Consultants, Flag State Representatives, Solicitors and Ship Owners who all have a vested interest in promoting the local maritime and engineering services globally.
With the upcoming launch of the “Maritime Initiative for Scotland”, it was an ideal occasion to align the visions and shared resources of the various organisations to promote UK Maritime in general and the West of Scotland in particular to the wider world.
The Clyde, has a long maritime history however the companies in attendance at the luncheon were entirely focussed on the future.
