Murray International Holdings, the metals, property,
mining and marketing group owned by David Murray, has expanded
its marketing interests with the creation of two new businesses.
Carnegie Information Systems Ltd and Carnegie Management Ltd
will complement existing businesses in Carnegie Marketing Group
and expand its global reach. The marketing group is the leading
marketing and events business in Scotland and covers sectors
such as sponsorship, public relations, call centres, hospitality,
signage and celebrity management.
Carnegie Management Ltd will create commercial opportunities
by developing joint ventures with sports organisations including
golf properties. The company, headed by former Gleneagles Golf
Developments director of operations Tom Younger, will also lease
manage golf clubs and tournaments worldwide.
Tom Younger, managing director, Carnegie Management Ltd, said,
“As part of the Carnegie Marketing Group, we expect to
forge relationships with a number of golf operators and club
owners worldwide. We are currently in discussion with property
owners in countries including Greece and Spain and we expect
to expand our activities to the States in the near future.”
CMG will also extend its services to the sport and entertainment
industry with the launch of Carnegie Information Systems Ltd
(CIS). The business will specialise in delivering fully integrated
CRM (customer relationship management) and expects to build
a client base in the UK and mainland Europe.
James McGlynn, managing director of Carnegie Information Systems,
said, “The company was borne out of the need to re-engineer
the business process within Rangers Football Club. One of our
principle objectives is creating a system whereby sports and
entertainment organisations can service as many customer requests
as possible at first point of contact.”
Carnegie Marketing Group’s UK headquarters are in Edinburgh.
The company owns nine marketing businesses – Carnegie
Sports Marketing, Carnegie Public Relations, Carnegie Hospitality,
RESPONSE (Call Centres), Sign Workshop, Carnegie Sports
International (NZ), Parallel Murray Management (golf agents),
Carnegie Information Systems and Carnegie Management.
