INDUSTRY AT 10TH
ANNIVERSARY
EVENT
The G13 Awards marked its tenth anniversary in
November at the biggest G-Awards ceremony in
several years, in order to publicly recognise the best
that the glass and glazing industry has to offer.
Over 640 people congregated at the London
Hilton on Park Lane Hotel for the G13 Awards
Presentation & Gala
Dinner, hosted by the
talented Dara O Briain,
to give their support to
the twelve G13 Award
winners and a special
Derek Bonnard Award
for Excellence.
Congratulations go to all
of this year’s winners who
demonstrated outstanding
standards of excellence
in the preceding twelve
months.
The Derek Bonnard Award
for Excellence was presented to Jim Rawson, Chairman
of the Epwin Group, for his
outstanding contribution to
the UK fenestration industry.
Tony Higgin, G-Awards organiser, comments, “For the
last ten years, the G-Awards
have been the platform for
the glass and glazing industry to show just how robust
and pioneering it is. The
fact that this year’s event
was one of the largest in
the last decade proves that
there is much to celebrate
Tony Higgin, on stage
at the G13 Awards
and we can feel optimistic
as we move into 2014. My
congratulations go to all this
year’s w inners and finalists,
particularly the new faces
who might not have entered
the G-Awards before. As
they say, you’ve got to be in
it to win it!”
In a frantic year of activity, culminating in the
Hope66 charity cycle ride,
over £1,300 was raised for
GM Fundraising, in aid of
Hope House Children’s
Hospices at the Charity
Fun Casino, sponsored by
Solidor.
