The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow for another hugely successful year, in which trading turnover increased by 21%  to £35.1 million; understands that, aside from the year of the Commonwealth Games in 2014, the most recent financial year has been the most successful 12 months ever for the SEC; notes that every sector in which it operates delivered a record performance, with 55% growth in turnover for conferences, growth of 3% for the exhibition sector and a 24% increase in turnover for the live entertainment sector; welcomes that the SEC attracted almost 2.1 million people in 2018, with 1.1 million attending shows and events at the SSE Hydro; acknowledges the wider economic impact of the SEC, which generated net additional expenditure of over £1.35 million per day in the Glasgow area, amounting to a total of £457 million for the year; congratulates its executive team and all staff for building what it believes is one of the world’s top venues, and believes that the further plans for expansion could help the campus go from strength to strength.
