250 jobs to be created for delivery of Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
A total of 250 jobs are set to be created to help deliver next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, organisers have announced. The news follow the appointment of events organising firm Trivandi as 'event delivery partner' for the games, with responsibility for transforming the city's sporting venues into Commonwealth Games facilities. The company has committed to recruiting 60% of the workforce from Glasgow and the surrounding areas, with dedicated opportunities for unemployed people, students and people with accessibility needs. Those recruited are also set to receive training in major event planning and delivery at the firm's in-house academy, which will provide them with internationally-recognised qualifications. The company said this would help develop a pool of local talent both to deliver the upcoming Games, and to 'lead future major events across Scotland and beyond'. Trivandi co-founder and chief executive James Bulley described Glasgow 2026 as a 'pivotal moment' for the Commonwealth sport movement. 'Our commitment extends far beyond the Games themselves; we're investing in Glasgow's people, communities and sporting future,' he said. 'The legacy for Scotland will be substantial: another successful major event that will attract future competitions to the country, a trained workforce ready to deliver events in Scotland, the UK and around the world, and a supply chain exposed to a global audience that opens doors to international opportunities.' The organisers said next year's event will showcase a 'more sustainable and inclusive delivery model' for the Games, which can be replicated by future host cities. As part of this Trivandi said all temporary installations used at the games will be designed for re-use rather than disposal, while its sustainability team will create a database of 'sustainable venue management practices' for future events. Glasgow last hosted the games in 2014, and was named host of the 2026 games after the Australian state of Victoria pulled out due to a rise in the estimated cost of hosting the event. Phil Batty, chief executive of the games' organising company Glasgow 2026, said: 'There is no better city than Glasgow to host this forward-thinking delivery model and change the future of how major multi-sport events are delivered. 'Our partnership with Trivandi signals our absolute confidence in delivering an exceptional Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next summer. 'Trivandi's world-class expertise and shared values of innovation, inclusion and impact will ensure Glasgow 2026 is remembered not only for outstanding sport but for the positive impacts it delivers for communities and businesses as well as future host nations and the next generation of world-class athletes.' Founded in 2013, Trivandi has helped deliver some of the highest-profile sporting events in recent years – including every summer Olympics since 2012, the last three Commonwealth Games, and FIFA world Cups. Commonwealth Sport chief Katie Sadleir said: 'Glasgow 2026 will be a bridge to the Commonwealth Games of tomorrow – a bold, reimagined model that prioritises flexibility, sustainability and inclusivity. 'By drawing on Trivandi's world-class expertise, it's set to maximise local employment benefits and minimise environmental impact. It will be a truly transformative Games.' The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will take place from July 23 to August 2 next year, with 3,000 athletes from 74 countries competing in venues including Scotstoun Stadium, the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
