Celebrating the Life of Dennis Worrall1st August 1943 – 1st March 2026

It is with deep sadness that I write to mark the passing of Dennis Worrall, a remarkable man whose life, leadership and generosity left an enduring mark on our industry, and on all who had the privilege of knowing him. On behalf of the wider membership, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the entire Greenberg Glass (GG Glass) family and to Dennis’ loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

Dennis was a true pioneer. From the moment he co‑founded the business 18 years ago, his vision, determination and unwavering belief in people were evident to all. He did not simply build a company; he built a culture rooted in hard work, integrity and pride in doing things properly. Under his stewardship, the business grew into a nationwide organisation, employing hundreds of people across the UK and setting standards that others aspired to follow.

Long before that success, Dennis had already established himself as a highly respected figure within the glazing industry. His near 30‑year tenure at GG Glass, where he helped grow the business into a national market leader, spoke volumes about his capability, foresight and tireless commitment. Even after his “retirement”, his passion for the industry never dimmed. Seeing an opportunity, he returned with renewed energy to establish GG Glass and Glazing Limited, along with Sam Grant, John Grant and George Ireland.  Once again proving that age was no barrier to ambition, innovation or leadership.

Beyond the impressive achievements within the glass industry, the stories shared at his funeral speak volumes about the positive impact he had on so many lives, both professionally and personally. He was, by all accounts, a gentleman in the truest sense; generous, warm, and always ready with a smile, and when music played, a dance. Whether mentoring colleagues, sharing a story over a pint, or championing others’ successes, Dennis had an extraordinary ability to make people feel valued. An avid Evertonian, a natural mentor, and a social butterfly – he brought joy into every room he entered.

Dennis’ devotion to his family was clear in all he did. He is now reunited with his beloved wife Linda, and it is deeply moving to know of his continued support for pancreatic cancer charities in her memory, a final testament to his generous heart.

As a Regional Manager, I want to say how immensely valued GG Glass are as part of our wider membership. They have been involved in many technical and regional meetings since they formed, not just as participants but Chairs and Vice Chairs too.

Dennis will be remembered not only for what he built, but for how he made people feel -respected and valued. Our thoughts are with the GG Glass family, his children, grandchildren, and all who mourn his loss. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
