INDUSTRYNEWS Cornwall Glass Group & Bohle Partner For Further Training In Sliding Door Systems The Cornwall Glass Group partnered with Bohle for further specialist training of the different types of sliding door systems which Bohle offers. Over 40 colleagues from across the Cornwall Glass Group attended the two days training, held at Exeter & Mackenzie Glass Centres, hosted by David Menzel, Bohles Master Glazier who travelled from Germany especially to host the training. The group of glaziers, branch managers and estimators alike benefitted from the experience and in-depth knowledge that David Menzel shared with them. The recently refurbished showrooms in the Exeter & Mackenzie Glass Centres have installed examples of Bohle’s sliding doors systems including their latest innovative - the Faltus System which is a bi and tri folding door system that slides as well as folds. These installed products helpfully allowed the group to see the products in operational state. This training partnership highlights the strength of an on-going relationship. Providing this training and building upon their colleagues existing skills and knowledge is recognised by Cornwall Glass which continues to provide opportunities to their colleagues.

As an English professional boxer from Liverpool, David competes in the heavyweight division and is the former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion who also won a bronze medal in the 2009 Olympics. TuffX believes in supporting sporting talent through sports sponsorship and has chosen David as they share the same ideology of quality and commitment combined with a strong belief in always striving for excellence. Furthermore, as a cousin of TuffX’ MD, Graham Price this will give him family support and brings the opportunity to work together promoting boxing. Graham comments, “Sponsoring David will give us an unparalleled opportunity to reach a bigger audience and capitalise on brand exposure. Mainstream sporting sponsorship is starting to breakdown because technology is making areas that have traditionally been seen as niche or unattainable reach mass audiences. We feel supporting David will be a mutually positive step for everyone.” GGF Appoints New Health, Safety and Environment Manager The GGF has welcomed Victoria Shelley as the Federation’s new Health & Safety and Environment Manager.
