‘ DYNAMIC FABRICATOR ’ GIVES ITS BACKING TO THE GGF
» ALUFOLD DIRECT , ONE OF THE UK ’ S best known and most dynamic aluminium fabricators , has given its backing to the Glass and Glazing Federation ( GGF ), as founder members of an upcoming new Aluminium Group .
Managing Director Russell Yates said : “ This is arguably the most exciting time in aluminium for decades . Retail and commercial demand are at record levels and new products and systems are being developed all the time . If we ’ re really going to make the most of the opportunities which lie ahead however , I think we need to work together as a sector and make aluminium an even easier choice for both installers and homeowners .
“ For AluFold Direct , joining the GGF is an important part of our plan . We can have input into the training programmes and technical information provided by the GGF so that they absolutely align with how the market is moving and we can ensure that , via the GGF ’ s lobbying activities , aluminium has a louder voice on the national stage .
“ Individual businesses , like AluFold Direct , are obviously forging ahead with our own support and communications programmes to help lead the charge for aluminium right across the windows and doors market , but by giving our collective backing to both the GGF and CAB ( Council for Aluminium in Building ), I think we can potentially achieve even more .”
Of the 500 + members of the GGF , around 160 are involved in aluminium and more than 30 of these are fabricators . While there has long been a Window and Door Group within the GGF which covers all materials and which all members can join , there has never been a dedicated Aluminium Group up until now .
Members of the new Group will have input into the expanded GGF Technical Hub as it builds its resources around the selection and installation of aluminium products and will be able to shape how the sector responds to proposed changes to legislation .
