The buzz, the hype,
the excitemenT...
...that’s the overall feel this month from the
industry and not surprisingly, when we see so
many of the glass and glazing industry contributors
either winning awards or being recognised for
their contribution or achievements to the industry.
Network Veka celebrated its Annual
Awards Ceremony at Nottingham, which
was attended by over 200 people. The
organisation’s brand ambassador, world
champion snooker player, Steve Davies
presented members with a variety of awards,
including ‘Best Newcomer’, ‘Embracing and
Promoting the Network Veka Brand’ and
best overall regional awards for Customer
Satisfaction.
A big congratulation also goes out to all the
companies nominated for one of the thirteen
awards at this year’s G Awards (G14). The
Awards will see some of the industries top
names attending the event, a must for your
date for your diary.
It is good to watch this event grow and
fantastic to see it reaching its 11th year. The
event is being held at the exclusive London

Hilton Hotel, Park Lane on 21st November
and will be hosted by comedian Kevin
Bridges
Our Solar Energy and Renewable, ‘special
feature’ section, looks at the activities
surrounding the Government’s ‘Green
Deal Home Improvement Fund’ scheme
and impact further investment may benefit
consumers and in-turn glazing companies.
The feature also includes a section on
how companies looking to offering solar
PV and other renewable energy options,
may be surprised how easy it can be to offer
consumers finance, rather than taking out
personal loans to install.
