Primary Industry: ExxonMobil Oil. I would locate this at grid reference (525665). This is because the raw material can be easily transported from the oil rigs up the clyde and deposited by the riverside to an oil refinery where it can then be sold to other companies.

Secondary Industry: McDonalds. I would locate this at grid reference (585655). This is because it is the central shopping area in Glasgow which means it is very busy. In addition to this, it is very easy to get to via motorways like the M77 and the M8 which allows easy access for the delivery of its products and also for the customers.

Tertiary Industry: HSBC Bank. I would also locate this at grid reference (585655). This is because, being a central area, the bank could rake in large sums of money and will gain many customers. Even though the land is expensive the bank could afford the rent due to their high income rates. Finally the centre is very accessible due to the numerous transport links nearby.

Quarternary Industry : Glaxo Smithline-Pharmaceuticals. I would locate this at grid reference (576664). This is because it is very near a university which will provide the company with employees of a very educational high standard. Also the university may allow research to take place within its premises, saving the company money. Finally it is reasonably accessible as it near the town centre which has many transport links.
