GGF launches new technical hub
» THE GLASS AND GLAZING Federation ( GGF ) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Technical Hub , housing all the technical services and products the Federation delivers , for its Members and the industry .
As well as an obvious and much needed re-design , the aim of the new Hub is to provide a more informative service primarily for GGF Members but also to highlight to non-Members and the wider industry such as architects , specifiers and building designers , the many technical services the GGF offers .

The GGF Technical Hub provides the full range of technical support and covers core operations such as ; consultancy , technical consultations and publications such as GGF Datasheets , Guides and many other technical documents .
David Borland , GGF Senior Technical Officer who has been the driving force behind this new online development , commented , “ Rather than simply update the generic technical information page , we wanted to create an online home where visitors to the GGF website can find all aspects of the GGF ’ s technical resource . The new Technical Hub will provide a much more immersive experience .”
The concertina style drop down design has multiple sub-sections for the user ’ s convenience and ease of navigation , with each topic providing links to relevant documents and / or easy online booking forms .
A visit to the Technical Hub also offers the latest technical news and access to an events and meetings calendar – which includes details of the GGF ’ s specialist technical groups ’ meetings , technical webinars and online forums .
The Technical Hub also houses relevant information and links to Government and trade information such as consultations that may impact on Members ’ business .
In addition to the web links that enable access the GGF ’ s technical library of over 100 publications , the Technical Hub also has a complete list of industry standards under review from BSI ( UK standards ), CEN ( European standards ) & ISO ( international standards ). Visitors to the Technical Hub can see the current status of each standard and relevant dates for response to the relevant standards body ( BSI , CEN or ISO ).
For GGF Members the latest GGF Technical Report is also available to download and / or view , providing Members with an accurate and up to date on the very latest technical developments in the industry .
David Borland continued , “ The new Technical Hub is an unrivalled resource for our industry , providing interactive and essential technical information . I am sure that users of this new online feature , will find the experience of the technical hub , an easy and simple way to find the highest quality of technical guidance in the industry .”
John Agnew , GGF Managing Director added , “ The GGF team are doing their
utmost to constantly improve the many services the Federation offers . We are working on all fronts to upgrade and develop our operations . In March , we launched the GGF Digital Marketing Toolkit and we have now followed this up with the launch of the GGF Technical Hub . In the next few months , we are aiming to launch many more digital products , services and publications to primarily support our Members , by making the road to recovery much easier .”
