NEW MEMBER WELCOMED
National Glass Group (NGG) has once again expanded its
membership, now to six companies, with the introduction of
Nova Group, based in Cheshire. Nova Group Limited, with
a turnover of over £12 million pounds and founded in 1971,
is an established IGU manufacturer in the North West.
» » WITH THIS LATEST ADDITION, THE
NGG now has a collective turnover more
than £70 million pounds, and yet all members
retain the agility and personal attention
from being owner managed independent
businesses.
NGG is a group that represents the leading
glass processors in the UK, including existing
members Clayton Glass, Custom Glass and
Northern Express Glass, Romag and Supaseal
Glass and is the only organisation of its kind
in the UK. With a combined turnover of over
£70million and annual purchasing exceeding
£20million, it also makes for the largest
independent buyer of sheet glass in the UK.
Beyond the purchasing power of the group,
NGG also promotes best practice and shares
the value created fairly among members. In
time the goal is to build the group up, so that
it represents 25% of flat glass purchases in the
UK.
