Scottish companies looking to Delhi C`wealth Games

London, Nov 3 (PTI) Business experts have asked Scottish
companies faced with the prospect of making redundancies to
consider seconding staff to India to work for the 2010
Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
Jane Gotts, programme director for BusinessClub Scotland,
a body set up primarily to help companies benefit from the
2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, said there were real
opportunities in Delhi.
Gotts said: "We've been speaking to some companies in
Scotland that are maybe looking at redundancies and we've
asked whether there would be interest if we identified
potential secondment opportunities to Delhi. There absolutely
is interest."
Gotts, who recently visited Delhi, said: "There is still
a lot of work to do. But the games are an immense source of
pride for the Indian people and they will definitely get
there."
BusinessClub Scotland, created by the Scottish Council
for Development and Industry and the Scottish Government, last
month launched a 2014 Commonwealth Games portal where
businesses can register to bid for contracts coming up for
grabs in Glasgow. PTI
