Members News, Membership News, News, Technical News |

We’re thrilled to share with the GGF community that Kevin Jones has been officially appointed as the Head of Technical department at the Glass and Glazing Federation!

Many of you will already know Kevin, who has been working as a Senior Technical Officer in the GGF for several years, most recently serving as Acting Head of Technical for the last few months. During this period, he’s demonstrated strong leadership and a clear vision for the future of our Technical Department.

We’re delighted that he’s now officially taken on the role. As Head of Technical, Kevin will lead our talented technical team, set the strategic direction for the department and continue to offer expert guidance to our members, regulatory bodies and the wider industry.

He’ll also oversee the development of our technical publications and contribute to shaping the standards that influence our sector.

This is a key senior role at the GGF, and Kevin’s appointment is an important step in maintaining our position as a trusted authority in the glass and glazing industry. His active involvement in industry forums, standards committees and public events will further strengthen the GGF’s technical voice. Kevin’s passion for the industry and commitment to driving excellence have already made a significant difference in his time at the GGF and we’re excited to see where his leadership will take us next.

GGF Launches New Partnership with The Joinery Network to Strengthen Timber Sector

Meetings, Members News, Membership News, News, Technical News |

As part of our ongoing mission to support every corner and facet of the fenestration industry, we’re delighted to announce a brand-new partnership with timber experts The Joinery Network!

Who are The Joinery Network?

The Joinery Network are a cooperative of specialist companies that provide a complete range of products and services for businesses that manufacture or install timber windows and doors.

By providing access to its Lignum fully-certified independent timber window and door system, expert training and technical support, TJN empowers manufacturers and the trade to grow their businesses with confidence. From superior energy-efficient, high-security products to marketing support and compliance documentation, The Joinery Network ensures companies have everything they need to succeed in a competitive market.

What Does this Mean?

Through this collaboration, the joint voices of both the GGF and TJN can create a more robust and influential voice for the timber sector. Timber continues to represent a significant portion of the industry as a whole, and is subject to the same challenges, regulations and opportunities, as well as having its own distinct needs.

As part of the partnership, we’ll be launching a new Timber Group for both members of TJN and the GGF community. The group will be run by the GGF Technical Team and have two meetings a year to discuss the very latest updates affecting the sector. The inaugural Timber Group meeting will take place next month in June.

TJN licence holders will be able to join the Timber Group once they have become GGF members, and we’re looking forward to welcoming new GGF members from across the timber sector, strengthening the GGF’s presence in this important part of the industry.
