GGF BREXIT READINESS
CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY
Following a recent £50,000
grant from Government to help
companies through Brexit, the
Glass and Glazing Federation
(GGF) Brexit Readiness Cam-
paign is now well underway
with; the launch of the new GGF
Brexit Hub, production of a new
guidance brochure and imple-
mentation of digital marketing
that includes social media and
search engine marketing.
Steve Rice, GGF Managing
Director commented, “Though
Brexit may happen in the next
few months, the implications of
the withdrawal from the EU and
further changes, are likely to
continue for a far longer period.
The GGF is doing its utmost to
help our industry through this
significant period of change in
the trading environment. Our
technical experts are involved in
regular discussions with stand-
ards committees and Govern-
ment departments to ensure
companies are given the best
possible advice. We advise all
companies, to use our new Brex-
it Hub which will be updated as
changes happen, as and when
the UK leaves the European
Union.”
The Brexit Hub consists of key
information, expert opinions,
potential scenarios and the latest
news on the issues affecting the
industry, as and when the UK
exits the European Union. It is
entirely free to visit for both
GGF Members and Non-members
alike, with no log-ins required.

cators and installers to win
more work and increase
their profits by upselling
to homeowners based on
the comfort benefits of
different types of Saint-
Gobain glass; enhanced
security, reduced overheat-
ing, noise reduction and
furniture fade protection,
as well as energy efficien-
cy. Saint-Gobain Glass
has developed numerous
resources for Network
members to use to educate
and inform homeowners
about the difference the
right type of glass can
make to their homes.
A key benefit of the
Planitherm Network is the
wealth of information on
the website and access to
sales and marketing tools
to help fabricators and
installers to start having
different conversations
with their customers and
choose the right glass
to meet their changing
needs.
