JAN 2014

Over 640 people congregated at the London
Hilton on Park Lane Hotel for the G13
Awards Presentation & Gala Dinner, hosted
by the talented Dara O Briain, to give their
support to the twelve G13 Award winners
and a special Derek Bonnard Award for
Excellence.
The Derek Bonnard Award for Excellence
was presented to Jim Rawson, Chairman of the
Epwin Group, for his outstanding contribution
to the UK fenestration industry.
Tony Higgin, G-Awards organiser,
comments, “For the last ten years, the
G-Awards have been the platform for the glass
and glazing industry to show just how robust
and pioneering it is. The fact that this year’s
event was one of the largest in the last decade
proves that there is much to celebrate and we
can feel optimistic as we move into 2014. My
congratulations go to all this year’s winners
and finalists, particularly the new faces who
might not have entered the G-Awards before.
As they say, you’ve got to be in it to win it!”
In a frantic year of activity, culminating in
the Hope66 charity cycle ride, over £1,300
was raised for GM Fundraising, in aid of
Hope House Children’s Hospices at the
Charity Fun Casino, sponsored by Solidor.
