I have been told that I have a distant relative who is responsible for
economic development in Glasgow, Scotland. His name is Ronald Culley.
Before he was boss at Scottish Enterprise [I think]he was the CEO of a
company called Govan Initiative Ltd. Has the press been kind to him?
Is he well regarded in
his field?
