Glasgow is the largest office centre in the UK outside London. The City continues to experience significant growth driven in particular by the banking, finance, insurance and public sectors. Major occupiers include Barclays Wealth, Clydesdale Bank, HBoS, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, RBS, Abbey, Royal & Sun Alliance, Direct Line, NHS, Scottish Ministers and the Ministry of Defence.

Furthermore, Glasgow was revealed as the host nation for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. As a result, this will attract inward investment of billions of pounds on the city's infrastructure, residential, commercial and leisure sectors as well as further enhancing the city's reputation as a first class commercial centre.
