  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 18 September 2019
  • Motion reference: S5M-18958

That the Parliament welcomes the announcement that the financial services company, JPMorgan Chase & Co, has announced plans to build a new multi-million pound base for its technology operations in Glasgow’s international financial services district; notes that the new building will be situated on Argyle Street and will give the firm, which already employs around 2,000 people in Glasgow, the capacity to grow its workforce in the city, accommodating up to 2,700 employees; recognises that the announcement coincides with the firm’s 20th anniversary in Glasgow and that it continues to invest in underserved communities and underrepresented groups in the city; understands that JPMorgan Chase & Co is the largest technology employer and recruiter in Scotland and that its Glasgow operations play a key part in its global infrastructure, and welcomes the firm’s long-term commitment to the city, which, it believes, further underscores the talent and dynamism of Glasgow’s workforce.
