Glasgow City Marketing Bureau (GCMB) has won a top industry accolade, it has announced.

The body was named Best UK Convention Bureau for the third successive year at the Meetings and Incentive Travel awards.

Molly Doheny, head of GCMB''s convention bureau, said the win represented "another fantastic performance" for the city''s conference sector.

"Conferences are extremely important to the city, which is why we take a ''Team Glasgow'' approach of working in close partnership with the private sector to win these meetings and give them such good service that they want to return," she added.

The Scottish Exhibition + Convention Centre, which is no stranger to exhibition stands, presentations and speeches, was also a winner. It took home the award for Best UK Convention Centre.
