The event was
attended by Commonwealth Games Organising Committee Chairman, Lord Smith of
Kelvin and Team GB Olympic Men’s Curling Captain, David Murdoch and saw the FTSE-100
company unveil a specially commissioned artwork generator to celebrate the Games.
The generator will become a familiar feature for spectators outside many of the
Games’ stadia and venues.

Under the banner ‘Generating
Powerful Partnerships’ it is hoped that the Aggreko event will spark new shared opportunities for
Scotland’s businesses and communities as a result of Glasgow hosting the XX
Commonwealth Games

Angus Cockburn, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Aggreko, said: “We
are deeply proud of our roots as a Scottish business with a truly global
presence. We now operate in more than 100 countries, but Glasgow remains the
centre of that business. Glasgow 2014 will celebrate all that is Scotland, Glasgow and the
Commonwealth Games and we are determined that it brings Scottish
businesses and communities together.”

Lord Smith of Kelvin, Chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising
Committee, added: “Aggreko
has a great track record of supporting large events worldwide and the company
has been a welcome addition to the Glasgow 2014 sponsor family as our Official
Temporary Power Supporter. It’s great to have a highly-regarded global power
firm with headquarters in the Glasgow area and an impressive
manufacturing plant in Dumbarton supporting us as we prepare to welcome the
world to the largest multi-sport event Scotland has ever hosted.”

Aggreko will supply
temporary power as well as temperature control services to 29 competition and
non-competition Games venues, including several stadia, the operations centre
and athletes village. It will also supply the International Broadcast Centre
(IBC) at the SECC, Glasgow.
