The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Kevin Jones as Technical Director, which is says recognises his significant contribution to the Federation and the development of its technical services.

Kevin has been a key member of the GGF team for a number of years and has played an instrumental role in the development of the Federation’s technical offering.

In his new role, Kevin will continue to lead the GGF’s technical team, overseeing the delivery of technical support, guidance, training and industry engagement.

He will continue to report directly to GGF Director Lauren Mawford and remain a member of the Federation Senior Management Team.

Lauren Mawford, Director of the GGF, said: “Kevin’s promotion is a reflection of the outstanding contribution he has made to the Federation and our members over a number of years.
