Last week, our Events Planning Team were busy attending meetings at 2 of the most prestigious golf courses in Scotland – The Renaissance Club in Gullane and Gleneagles by Auchterarder. The Renaissance Club will host this year’s Genesis Scottish Open which is one of five tournaments that are part of the Rolex Series, which identifies it as one of the European Tour's premier events. Gleneagles will host The Senior Open Presented by Rolex for the first time when the iconic Scottish venue welcomes Europe’s only Senior Major Championship in 2022. Our managing director, James Glackin commented “the Scottish Open is always the one our team look forward to as it’s the first in the golf season for us and it’s been 4 years since the Senior Open was last in Scotland which is another event we are very fond of”.

Client Appreciation – Bar Soba

To celebrate 'World Cocktail Day' we want to take a moment to appreciate one of our clients Bar Soba who are, in our opinion, cocktail masters! "We’ve been mixing cocktails since 1999 and we’ve only gotten better with time. Offering you classic-inspired twists for the discerning drinkers and flamboyant homages to the disco era for those who just wanna have fun. If a guest just wants their favourite cocktail served just the way they like it? No problem - our skilled mixologists can take care of that too." - Bar Soba  If you head to any of the Bar Soba venues in Glasgow, don't forget say "Hello" to our Security staff and tag us in your cocktail pictures.
