Building closer ties with members

A recent trip to see the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) in London resulted in a frank and open conversation between group CEO Tim Simmons and editor Nathan Bushell.

He started off by saying “I want to make sure that the business is ready for the regulatory changes and the commercial demands, which will be expected of us as an organisation”.

And then went on to discuss just how he planned to achieve that.

This conversation followed an initial discussion with Tim three months ago (which you can watch on Glaze-Tube), and he reflected on what’s happened since then.

“One of the things that I’ve tried to do in the first six months is to ensure that the GGF aligns much more closely with its members,” he said. “I actually see there’s a real appreciation amongst our members and an appetite for the GGF to be a lot more connected with their businesses, and to share the frustrations and the experiences so that we become the voice of the industry – so we can represent the industry a lot more effectively.”
