Glasgow City Council

Arms Length External Organisations (ALEOs)

The Council has established a network of wholly and partly owned Arms' Length External Organisations ("ALEOs") which now provide services to and on behalf of the Council.  A number of the ALEOs also have trading subsidiaries.

The council's ALEOs are:

  • City Building (Glasgow) LLP plus City Building (Contracts) LLP
  • City Property (Glasgow) LLP plus City Property Glasgow (Investments) LLP, plus City Markets.
  • Clyde Gateway URC plus Clyde Gateway Developments Ltd
  • Glasgow Life (operating name of Culture and Sport Glasgow) plus Culture and Sport Glasgow (Trading) CIC
  • Glasgow City Marketing Bureau Limited (no longer trading, operations having been assumed by Glasgow Life)
  • Jobs & Business Glasgow plus Jobs & Business Glasgow (Property by Jobs & Business Glasgow)
  • The Integration Joint Board (jointly with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, forming part of the Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership)
  • Service (Glasgow) LLP (formerly trading as ACCESS; no longer operating).

The Council is also responsible for a number of separate statutory functions which are delivered through separate legal entities, including the City of Glasgow Licensing Board, the Assessor and the Electoral Registration Officer.  When acting as returning officer for elections or counting officer for referenda, the council's chief executive is also acting in a separate legal role.
