Clear Channel Wins Glasgow Street Furniture Contract

Clear Channel Outdoor UK has been awarded a long-term contract to supply and maintain street furniture in Glasgow.

The contract covers more than 300 ad panels on FSUs across the city, as well as the provision of a pedestrian tourist sign system incorporating more than 200 map and information panels and finger posts.

Barry Sayer, Clear Channel Outdoor UK CEO, said: “Glasgow is a major European city associated with internationally recognised, high quality urban renewal. We look forward to working with Glasgow City Council to develop our integrated street furniture strategy in line with the topography and character of this vibrant city.”

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and this award, allied to Clear Channel Outdoor’s exclusive street furniture contracts with Edinburgh and Aberdeen, puts Clear Channel in an enviable position in the six-sheet market north of the border.

In June, Clear Channel Outdoor UK’s Create division unveiled digital advertising panels at bus shelters in Brighton, Leeds and Edinburgh (see Clear Channel Outdoor Unveils Digital Advertising Panels).

Clear Channel was also recently awarded the contract to build bespoke-designed, architectural structures in 10 ‘Gateway’ locations in Glasgow, housing large-format backlit displays at key sites such as Anniesland Cross, Castle Street and Barrhead Road.

Clear Channel in total holds more than 350 municipal contracts in the UK including the street furniture advertising contract for bus shelters in London, worth an estimated £250 million.
