Our Blue Zone ‘local staff’ and General Liaison Officers have all been recruited from Glasgow and the surrounding area, and more than 40% of the Host City volunteers live in the City.

Furthermore, our production company's local crew supplier is engaging with local organisations to recruit a local workforce. Other subcontractors are committed to 70-85% local staff.
