Glasgow City Council has become the first local authority in Scotland to set up a joint venture company, after signing a £265m deal with Serco. The council and the contractor will both have equal shares in the limited liability partnership. It will provide joined-up and cost-efficient delivery of property and information services. Duncan Mackison has been appointed as chief executive of the new partnership, and he is relocating back to Glasgow, where he went to school and spent time serving as a Royal Marine. 'Glasgow is leading the way, creating a new partnership between the public and the private sector to deliver services and improvements,' said Mr Mackison. 'And, I am looking forward to ensuring this innovative organisation delivers for the people of Scotland's biggest city.'
