Quotes

And the number of people claiming Job Seekers Allowance has increased at a slower rate than similar sized cities in England. Mr Purcell said: "Glasgow is still open for business. It is important to remember the advances we have made over the past decade. 'That has seen unemployment down, more jobs created, a more skilled workforce and investment flooding into the city. 'We must ensure Glasgow comes out of the recession stronger than we went in.' Scots Secretary Jim Murphy said: 'Glasgow is a major world city with a bright future. It has always adapted to the challenges it has faced and will continue to do so.' Crawford Gillies, chairman of Scottish Enterprise, said: 'Glasgow has proven itself one of the most dynamic cities in Scotland. 'However, recovery will not happen overnight and much of what the public and private sectors achieve together in the coming months and years will determine the success not just of the extent and pace of the recovery but also of Scotland's economic future.' Stuart Patrick, chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, added: 'Major initiatives, such as winning the right to host the Commonwealth Games, have created economic and employment opportunities."
Sir Tom Hunter, who presented the awards at a ceremony in Glasgow, said: "Entrepreneurship is above all a state of mind. Maintaining self-belief, thinking positive and seizing opportunities is what creates success."
SUSAN NICOL, general manager of the St Enoch Centre, sponsor of the awards, said: "The Scotswoman Of The Year Awards are a celebration of the fantastic things that can happen with hard work and dedication. 'They are a way of saying thank you to these women for everything they have accomplished. It will be a very special evening.' Rema Sherifi says she found a second chance for life in Glasgow"
