4. TACKLING CRIME One early start for Asa and Graham on a summers morning didn’ t go as expected. Leaving Cheltenham to visit a customer on a 300-mile round trip, they arrived at 9am to conduct a long-awaited meeting in hope of completing a business agreement. Ten minutes into the meeting Asa looked out the window to notice 4 men holding up a security van at gun point. The men robbed the van and made a getaway. Having witnessed the whole event, Asa and Graham spent the day at Eastbourne police station giving evidence and accounts of the robbery. We at GT help and contribute to tackling crime with our security products but on this occasion, it was with vigilance and time.

5. IN HIS HONOUR GT Window Products supports the British Heart Foundation( BHF) in honour of Graham. In 2013 they set up a Just Giving page for the BHF, a link can be found on their website. When a small or large customer requires a very small number of samples such as release keys or a dozen sets of product for testing, GT often send them out FOC. In return, many of these customers have donated into GT’ S BHF charity as a returned gesture. Also to add to this pot, in 2016, Carl completed a 20 mile 200 obstacle race called Rat Race – The Dirty Weekend. This is the largest obstacle race in the world and took 7.5 hours to complete. He raised £ 1600 largely from family, friends and generous industry customers.
