The Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC) won the prestigious Event Services Grand Prix award in recognition for its work at the forefront of the UK’s international events industry at UK Event Awards.

The awards also crowned the SECC as the Best Large Venue with its capacity to successfully host events of over 1001 delegates. The SECC’s online box office ticketSOUP.com was commended for Best Marketing Strategy and its green credentials saw the SECC commended for The Green Award in acknowledgement of its carbon offset scheme that supports the restoration of the Caledonian Forest by planting more than 68,000 trees.

“To be recognised by the industry with these esteemed awards is further testament to the SECC’s ability to host and deliver truly world class events.” John Sharkey, SECC CEO, commented; “It is fantastic to receive these awards in our 25th Anniversary year, where 25 years on we attract both national and international business. This in turn brings enormous economic benefit, not just to Glasgow, but to the whole of Scotland.”
