Clergyman likely to head Clyde Gateway project
The Rev John Matthews, who once headed a US multinational, is among the front-runners to lead one of the most significant regeneration projects in Scotland.A Church of Scotland minister in Glasgow's Ruchill and former European manager for General Electric, Mr Matthews is understood to be in the frame for a directorship on the Clyde Gateway project.
The scheme will see £1.4bn in private development poured into Glasgow's east end and North and South Lanarkshire over the next 20 years, bringing 10,000 homes, 21,000 jobs and a population boost of 20,000.
Mr Matthews, until recently deputy chairman of Scottish Enterprise Glasgow, and several high-profile figures in the construction industry are favourites for the private sector seat on the Gateway board.
