A global financial services firm is to expand its Glasgow operation and create 500 jobs over three years. Barclays Wealth said it is undergoing rapid expansion and is to open its fifth city office in the International Financial Services District. The firm has been based in Glasgow since 1986 and has 1,200 employees.
Frank McGarahan, chief operating officer, said: 'Barclays Wealth has had a strong presence in Glasgow. We are delighted to build on this success.' Mr McGarahan said Glasgow was extremely accessible with a high quality, highly educated workforce. The Scottish Executive provided 4.2 million GBP to fund the expansion.
