Barclays Sustainability Breakfast: A Celebration of Innovation

This is a curated gathering of founders and business leaders from across sectors, designed for open discussions.

Calling all entrepreneurs, innovators and founders!

Barclays and Glasgow Chamber of Commerce are delighted to invite you to our celebration of innovation. Join us for a relaxed breakfast of coffee and pastries from Cottonrake, alongside thoughtful conversation on how climate innovation is helping businesses adapt and grow.

This is a small, curated gathering of founders and business leaders from across sectors, designed for open discussion rather than traditional networking. The format is informal and discussion-led, creating space for meaningful exchange.

You’ll hear from experienced leaders about what they’ve learned along the way, including what hasn’t worked, and we’ll spotlight climate innovators offering practical solutions to sustainability challenges facing SMEs.

Whether you’re scaling a climate-focused business or a business at an earlier stage of your sustainability journey, you’ll leave with useful insights, fresh perspectives and connections you can build on.

Our lineup features:

• Michael Cusack, Chief Sustainability Officer, ACS Clothing
• Jennifer O’Donnell, Director, O’Donnell Brown Architects - Climate Courtyard Project
• Gerry Docherty, Managing Director , Circulus
• Barrie Harvey, Chief Operating Officer, Pulpex

Why attend?

• Take part in meaningful conversation with a curated group of peers

• Hear practical insights and lessons learned from experienced leaders

• Discover climate innovations that could support your business

• Leave with ideas and connections you can genuinely use
