Tim Simmons Appointed as GGF Group CEO

The Glass and Glazing Federation Group (GGF Group) has appointed Tim Simmons as its new CEO.

Taking over the job within the GGF from John Agnew, who retired from the role last month, Tim is said to bring extensive experience in organisational transformation to the post.

This includes leading organisational change within a diverse range of businesses spanning private equity, listed and family-owned companies.

Commenting on his appointment, he said that the GGF was going through a period of ‘exciting change’ as it adapted to new challenges and opportunities.

“The construction and building products sectors are going through rapid change as industry adjusts to new regulation, environmental, operational and commercial change”, he said.

“The glass and glazing sectors are pivotal in supporting that journey and in the creation of sustainable, safe, secure and inspiring spaces from individual homes to high-rises.

“Representing industry, the GGF has an important part to play in shaping the future of the built environment.

“We need to play to established strengths, including our technical expertise, our reach with government and the passion of our people.”

He added: “At the same time, we must also continue to evolve to ensure that we are agile and structured to deliver even more for our members.

“Major progress has been made and I look forward to working alongside GGF colleagues and members to make sure that we continue that journey of service innovation during a period of exciting change for the GGF, the glass and glazing industry and construction more widely.”
