Brian Baker said:“ I had planned to retire a few years ago but when I am asked to

help out, it seems I just can’ t refuse. I would like to thank everyone for all their help over the years.”

Brian Waldron added:“ I remember the GGF when it started in 1977, in small rented offices at Mount Row in Mayfair, and I am pleased to have been part of its incredible success over the last 40 years. I will continue to be involved with the GGF as maintaining the highest technical standards is of paramount importance in our industry.”
