Business people in Glasgow were welcomed to an event celebrating the acquisition of Scottish Financial News by Hero Media & Entertainment, a newly-established division of the Hero Brands group.

About 70 guests gathered for a reception on the rooftop terrace of the House of Gods hotel on Glassford Street last Thursday to toast the deal. SFN was part of Dundee Press Agency, which Hero acquired this month along with sister titles Scottish Legal News, Scottish Housing News, Scottish Construction Now and Irish Legal News.

Graham Ogilvy, who founded the agency and will remain with the business, said SFN had become a must-read for accountants and financial services professionals in Scotland and that he looked forward to further growth under Hero.
