I have no doubt that membership of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau significantly enhances Glengoyne’s profile, bringing international visitors with the right demographics to the distillery. The Bureau’s enthusiasm, belief in their product and focus on delivering profitable events is evident from initial bid, through fam trips to the end booking and they frequently manage to keep Glengoyne involved throughout. Membership brings tangible benefits to our business.
