TWO tech businesses operating from The Albus building in Clyde Gateway – one of Scotland’s most successful regeneration areas – are celebrating after being named as finalists in the Glasgow Business Awards, organised by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce.
School Cloud Systems is an educational technology company founded in 2006 by two 16-year old friends, Robbie Beattie and Marcus Fields. The company, who moved to The Albus in May to accommodate their growing team, is shortlisted in the Best Performing Business (1-10 employees) category.
Fellow Albus tenants Cloud Cover IT, who provide cloud services, software and hardware solutions, IT support and network management, are finalists in the Best Performing Business (11-50 employees) category.
Clyde Gateway is a regeneration programme that is changing the image, perception and fortunes of Glasgow’s east end and South Lanarkshire. The Albus is situated in the centre of the regenerated Bridgeton area, and is one of only a handful of speculative developments that have been built in the Glasgow city region over the last few years.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
