Outstanding Contribution by a young business leader

The night of the Inspiring City Awards 2014 is here and there is a great atmosphere in the office as everyone is getting ready for the black tie event.  The Inspiring City Awards are aimed at recognising those truly remarkable individuals, businesses and organisations that consistently go the extra mile to ensure Glasgow continues to flourish.   

Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson, who is also chairman of the Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “The nominations recognise those who are working to make a difference at every level – from inspiring action geared at improving their local communities to enhancing the city’s reputation on a global scale.”

We are all really excited about our Managing Director Craig being nominated for the “Outstanding Contribution by a young business leader” as it not only shows the work he has achieved but also the work of all the TBR as a team.

We have booked a table for the event so will be taking lots of pictures and tweeting, so follow us on @tbrglobal.  There may be some sore heads in the office tomorrow but it will all be worth it.  Wish us luck!

Inspiring City Awards 2014 Nomination

TBR Global is proud to announce that our Managing Director Craig Chambers has been shortlisted for the award of “Outstanding Contribution by a young business leader” at the Inspiring City Awards 2014.

These Awards are organised by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, in association with The Herald and the city brand PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW. The aim of these awards is to give recognition to individuals, businesses and organisations who have gone beyond the call of duty to encourage, mentor and support investment and growth in Glasgow.

Craig has been recognised for his role in the company’s rapid growth and the internal improvements he has driven forward. Moreover, his passion, dedication and determination inspires the whole company to thrive.

We believe Craig being shortlisted is not just an individual achievement but a reflection on the great work carried by all staff at TBR Global.

Congratulations!

How far would you go for your clients??

Last week, Andrés Gomis, Account Manager in Spain, attended a client meeting in his homeland.

As well as presenting to his clients on the benefits of TBR and training them on our system, he took TBR branding and Corporate identity to a new level by baking a traditional tuna pie for the team.

Everyone was glad Andres didn’t go too far and use purple colouring to represent our global brand.

Charitable Mud Run

Last Wednesday 23rd of July, two of TBR Global employees took part in the 5K Mud Run for Marcus Rutherford Foundation/Young Adult Cancer Trust organised by Reed & Mackay.

The event took place at a specially designed course in Turnbridge Wells with 65 people taking part. Our Managing Director Craig Chambers and Head of Corporate Travel, David Pettifor participated with a TBR sponsored team.

The event was a great success and enjoyed by all as well as a great opportunity to raise money for charity.

Hong Kong International Events

This month TBR Global has supplied two important international events in Hong-Kong for the trademark and art industries. Both events have received thousands of international participants and have been a great success for our team.


The first event has been organized by INTA, one of the largest global associations of trademark owners, professionals and academics. The INTA’s annual meeting -the 136th for the INTA association- is one of the trademark industry’s premier events of the year.


TBR Global has ensured the ground logistics for a dozen of law firms that during five days -from the 10th to the 14th of May- successfully attended some of the conferences, educational sessions and programs featured by INTA.

From the 15th to the 18th of May, the Art Basel show also took place in Hong-Kong. The show traced twelve decades of art history across its six sectors -galleries, insights, discoveries, encounters, magazines and film- as well as offered extensive opportunities for artists, collectors and visitors.


TBR Global accomplished the logistic service for our VIP clients including daily tours and in-town transfers as well as on-site coordination. For the event, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on Hong-Kong Island, TBR daily provided over twelve cars and achieved a very positive feedback from our clients.
