Harper Macleod named as first Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games sponsor
Glasgow legal firm Harper Macleod LLP has been announced as the first sponsor for Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The firm has become a Tier 2 sponsor of the games, and will provide a number of services including legal support and commercial contracts, sponsorship, broadcasting, anti-doping and licensing.
The company's sponsorship will focus on the defining moments for individual athletes, to their members of staff, and to the people of Glasgow and Scotland.
Further sponsors are expected to be announced over the course of the September.
Martin Darroch, chief executive of Harper Macleod, said: “The Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games will leave a lasting legacy for Scotland and its people, young and old. People will be more active, communities regenerated, more jobs created and Scotland will be shown in all its glory around the world, which should encourage tourism and, hopefully, inward investment.
“Our responsibility to our local community is high on our firm’s agenda which is why we are supporting Glasgow 2014 and its goal of a sustainable Scotland. We also see the Games as an opportunity to build lasting relationships throughout the Commonwealth that will help bolster our nation and help us compete better in local, national and international markets," he added.
