The Glamis Consultancy is at the centre of a network of associates, each of whose expertise complements Colin's "in house" knowledge of tourism and economic development in general. The basic values of The Glamis Consultancy - action based upon evidence - are shared by our associates who form a formidable pool of talent to bring to our varied project challenges.
