GW Business Recognition

Show us how you and your team have implemented insights from both GW service excellence staff training and GW leadership support to deliver outstanding service excellence.

We’re looking for evidence of tangible results:

• What innovative changes did you made to achieve service excellence?
• How did the visitor experience improve? Any testimonials?
• What were the benefits to your business and staff? To Glasgow as a destination?
• Who of your staff was involved?
• How have you recognised your staff for their contribution?
• What are your plans for continuous improvement?

We welcome in particular stories relating to the key themes of Glasgow's Tourism and Visitor Plan to 2023: Accessibility; young people/recruitment/retention/careers; music; heritage; digital. 

Get creative! You can use any medium to tell your story: video, podcast, story with photos, testimonials, etc.

This is a great opportunity to involve young people in your business to tell your story in a creative way that will capture attention.
