Glazpartners – Companies Who Do The Job Right
In Spring 2023, Glazpart launched the Glazpartners initiative to increase collaboration between the Glazpart team and customers. The mission behind the initiative was to identify and find technical solutions to the many shared regulatory issues affecting the glass, glazing and fenestration sectors.
Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director – Fenestration explains the background.“ In 2021 post-pandemic, Brexit and Grenfell, it was clear that regulations were changing on many levels. At Glazpart, we are always trying to stay ahead of legislation changes and in 2021 / 22 we invested a lot of time and energy into research and interpreting incoming legislation. Simultaneously, we found many of our customers were also looking ahead and wanting to emerge from the testing times stronger than ever. Collaboration, sharing knowledge and information seemed the best way to go and from this background we set up Glazpartners for companies focused on sharing knowledge to do the job right.”
Since launch, Glazpartners has grown to 63 organisations across the supply chain with Glazpartners also offered free marketing benefits with brand promotion at events and online in social media, Glazpart’ s website and e-newsletters as well as in the trade media with joint PR articles. In 2025, Glapartners promotional activity created over 2.2 million opportunities to view the Glazpartners brand across all media.
With so much promotional activity, Glazpartners has been recognised with multiple award nominations at industry awards such as the G-Awards and National Fenestration Awards( NFAs) and in 2024, Glazpartners won The Best Customer Support Programme at The GGP Installer Awards.
In the last 12 months, the Glazpartners initiative expanded with many high profile organisations joining including trade bodies( such as GGF and CAB), technical consultancies, events companies and trade media.
Glazpartners has also increased membership benefits including Glazpartners News – a monthly e-newsletter which brings all Glazpart’ s news to Glazpartners first, plus a new programme of events titled“ Talking Shop with Glazpartners” in conjunction with the five PiGs( People in Glazing Society) social events held across the UK.
The Talking Shops are held in the same venues as PiGs and start an hour earlier to offer Glazpartners the opportunities to meet with Technical Experts from across the supply chain and discuss industry issues in informal and relaxed settings.
Glazpartners is also a supporting brand of the annual Glazing Summit; participating in the technical discussion panel on the incoming Future Homes Standard and the shift towards whole-building performance and the upcoming Home Energy Model( HEM); and promoting Glazpartners from stand( no. 15) in the Glazing Summit Exhibition area where all Glazpartners logos will be on display and all visitors can pick up a copy of the annual Glazpartners Supplement( which is included in this month’ s Clearview).
At this year’ s G-Awards in London on 27 November, Glazpartners is also planning to continue its popular Pre- Awards Drinks. In the last two years, this has proved an enjoyable warm-up event for Glazpartners attending the G-awards.
In 2027, Glazpartners will also be promoted at FIT Show in Birmingham NEC( 18-20 May) with all Glazpartners brand logos on show and all Glazpartners invited to visit the Glazpart stand to see latest products, meet the team and enjoy a refreshment or two.
