SUPPORTING CONSUMER CODES CAMPAIGN
» » THE GLASS AND GLAZING
Federation (GGF) is fully supporting the
Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI)
Consumer Codes PR Campaign urging more
companies to become part of an approved
consumer code.
In February 2016, the GGF’s Consumer
Code of Practice was approved by the CTSI
Consumer Codes Approval Scheme and
since then the GGF and its consumer facing
Members have made huge strides in the last 12
months.
The GGF’s activity promoting its Consumer
Code and Members engagement with the
overall GGF consumer support package is
justified by the latest GGF independent
consumer survey which shows consumers
want to deal with companies adhering to a
consumer code of practice.
Brian Smith, GGF Director of Home
Improvement said: “It’s been a solid and
active 12 months since the GGF Consumer
Code was approved by Trading Standards
but it is clearly been worthwhile. All of the
GGF’s consumer facing Members are adhering
to the code and we have only had to expel
one Member for breaching the code. We
are delighted to support Trading Standards’
campaign to promote consumer codes to
businesses and consumers.”
The GGF Consumer Code can be viewed on
and downloaded from www.MyGlazing.com.

The first 2017 event drew in people from

the 200 attendees mark and it’s great to see
faces old and new enjoying a drink and a good
chat.”
As usual, PIGS received fantastic support
from the industry. 36 companies and
organisations dipped their hands in their
pockets to sponsor the event. All of the money
went behind the bar to start the PIGS party.
Sarah continued: “As ever, we have our
fantastic industry sponsors to thank for making
PIGS happen. An extra thanks to GAP, who
gave us a boost of funds when the bar ran dry
on the night – much appreciated!”
There are three further PIGS events planned
for 2017. The next is in London on 11 May.
There will be a first-time PIGS in Glasgow
event in the summer and Birmingham will
finish off the year’s events.
