Congratulations to our Glasgow Life Museums Commercial Development and Programming team who were Highly Commended at the Museums + Heritage Awards in London on Thursday 15 May.

The awards celebrate the absolute best in the world of museums, galleries, and cultural and heritage visitor attractions. Our Commercial Development and Programming team were recognised in the Team of the Year category.

Bernard Donoghue OBE, CEO of the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions said of the team:

"All the judges were hugely impressed not just at the diverse range of commercial opportunities the team had seized but also, in many cases, had created themselves. It’s never been more important to generate income and the sheer size of the team’s achievements and the remarkably small size of the team means that this Glasgow Life team punches way above their weight."

Congratulations to Lauren Rhodes, Christina Stewart and Shona MacDougall from the team on this significant national recognition.
