AN award-winning Glasgow software development company has become the latest occupant at Clyde Gateway’s The Albus building in a move that brings a highly skilled team of 10 to Bridgeton.
School Cloud Systems is an educational technology company founded in 2006 by two 16-year-old friends, Robbie Beattie and Marcus Fields, who noticed that their school wasn’t making effective use of their rooms and resources.
They were inspired to create an IT solution, and their company now provides online software to more than 2000 schools worldwide to help them with booking rooms and resources and to arrange their parents’ evenings.
Marcus Fields, director of School Cloud Systems, said: “We were based in the West End of Glasgow but were attracted to The Albus because of the modern ‘tech start-up’ vibe of the building, which is very difficult to find in Glasgow. The abundance of light creates an excellent working environment.”
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
