Our New Centre

Press Release

GTG has launched a brand new, state of the art training and conference centre on South Street, Glasgow.  With an investment of over £10 million, GTG offers a comprehensive list of training courses, as well as boasting exceptional automotive training and superb conference facilities.

This 61,000 sq ft centre is split into two dedicated sections; the fully operational transport division caters for every aspect of automotive training whilst the IT and business skills division provides a broad range of business skills training courses and has an outstanding conference area.

GTGs' location at Whiteinch is a welcome addition to the Clydeside regeneration project and is set to be one of Scotland's leading training and conference centres, providing delegates with outstanding facilities and services.

GTG has been training individuals since 1971 and was purchased by the Arnold Clark Group in 2003. The Arnold Clark Group, synonymous with the motoring industry, is run by Scottish entrepreneur, Sir Arnold Clark and has 140 retail outlets throughout the UK and employs 8000 members of staff.

The Arnold Clark Group is one of the UK's most successful privately owned companies and Sir Arnold's investment and dedication to GTG further emphasises the importance of training and personal development within larger organisations.

Sir Arnold comments, "People are an organisations best asset and it is of vital importance that they are given the opportunity to further their skills and advance their career.  Our aim with GTG was to create a progressive learning environment which can provide training for people at all levels of an organisation and for a variety of businesses.  The facility itself is magnificent and with a bank of experienced trainers on hand, this is set to be a truly winning combination."

In addition to the excellent training provided, GTG offers a unique and exciting venue for meetings, conferences and events.  This contemporary venue has been designed to host events of varying sizes and is equipped to cater for all technological and presentation requirements.  

With 14 meeting rooms and a spacious 150 seat theatre style conference suite, GTG is ideal for small or large conferences, meetings and intimate banquet dinners as well as providing an innovative arena for product launches.  The atrium at the front of the building can also be utilised for an event, with the 20ft windows making this an excellent space for showcasing products and hosting launches.

All meeting rooms are fully air conditioned and wi-fi enabled, as are all public areas.  A comprehensive day delegate package is also available and GTG’s dedicated events team is on hand to assist event organisers with every aspect of their event.

David Scott, GTGs' chief executive comments, "This new venue is a tremendous opportunity for GTG to showcase all it has to offer.  We already have a well established presence within the training industry and now with the additional practical training zones and superb conference facilities, we have an exceptional facility which will appeal to a wide variety of users."
