Outside the box: Skypark, the Glasgow business campus, has built a reputation in recent years for doing things a bit differently for its tenants.
The latest focus of its efforts is a mobile app dedicated to wellbeing and onsite services, believed to be the first of its kind for a business park. The app enables tenants to access a wide range of services 24/7, from car parking and flu jabs to beauty treatments, as well as “Skyperk” discounts. Skypark is already known for its art exhibitions and monthly meet-ups for tenants.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
