THE LIVES OF TWO BRIANS When the Glass and Glazing Federation ( GGF ) celebrated its 40th anniversary at the annual GGF Members Day , the occasion proved extra special for two long-serving GGF members .
Brian Baker ( former GGF president and interim chief executive ) and Brian Waldron ( chairman of the GGF standards committee ) have been recognised for Outstanding Service to the GGF .
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 .”
