Glasgow City Region has a population of 1.84 million people – a population which is growing and which is roughly one third of Scotland. Our workforce is one of the most highly skilled and flexible in Europe, with 66% of working age and over 42% educated to degree level – the second highest among other competing UK City Regions.
This plays a big part in what makes our Region so attractive to investors and large companies like Barclays looking to relocate to areas with strong skills bases.
Our people are not just the key to our success as a region but also the means by which our success will be measured.
