Glasgow, a city rich in history, culture, and innovation, is celebrating a monumental milestone this year, 850 years since its official founding.
Glasgow at 850 - a city of transformation
From its humble beginnings as a small religious settlement founded by St. Mungo to its rise as a key industrial powerhouse during the 19th century, Glasgow has continuously evolved. Today, it is recognised as a central hub for innovation, with thriving industries in technology, finance and the creative sectors. The city’s resilience and adaptability have made it a prime location for businesses of all sizes, from startups to established enterprises who want to embrace a city full of life and character.
In fact, Glasgow has been ranked as one of the best cities to live and work in the UK, thanks to its excellent transport links, affordability, and strong business ecosystem. With its rich cultural heritage, green spaces and globally renowned universities, it’s no surprise that Glasgow continues to attract top talent and investment.
Celebrating Glasgow’s legacy at Clockwise
To honour this milestone, Clockwise Glasgow is launching a historical timeline display in our club lounge, showcasing key moments from the city’s past. This timeline will be available throughout the year, offering visitors and members the chance to immerse themselves in Glasgow’s incredible history.
From exploring the origins of Glasgow and King William I to the industrial decline and the city it is today, our timeline will emphasise all the key points of our history so that we can really celebrate and immerse ourselves in our culture.
Our goal is to create a space where people can reflect on the city’s journey while networking and collaborating in a dynamic and inspiring environment. Whether you’re a local entrepreneur, freelancer, or part of a growing team, we invite you to visit the display and be a part of this celebration.
