The GGF’s 40th Anniversary Cam- paign in 2017 has been nominated in the “Best use of Research and Insight” Category, while MyGlazing. com (in conjunction with Refresh PR) has been nominated for the “Best Use of Press and PR” and the “Best Mid-Budget Campaign”. The GGF’s 40th Anniversa- ry campaign entailed extensive research that trawled the GGF’s archives with some of the refer- ence books going back over 200 years of trade bodies in the glass industry. From the research, the GGF produced a timeline starting from 1328 and London’s Guild of Glaziers (the industry’s first known trade body) right through to 2017 and the GGF’s position in the industry as the leading trade organisation for the last 40 years. Refresh PR were appointed the GGF’s consumer PR agency in 2015 and have since help grow the awareness and interest in My- Glazing.com (the GGF’s consumer website). The Construction Marketing Awards Gala Dinner takes place on Thursday 29th November at Hilton Bankside, London. http://www.cmawards.co.uk/ won a £500,000 integral blinds contract with Belfast City Hos- pital and saved the hospital thousands of pounds. Morley has supplied the hos- pital with its SL20 MB system, which are motorised blinds inside sealed units that were specially developed with two operating mechanisms – one for the patient to control inside their room, and a key operated over- ride system for nurses to operate from the corridor. The electric brushless motor quietly rais- es, lowers and tilts the integral blinds safely, smoothly and with precision. The integral blinds have been installed at the new £20m two-sto- rey Acute Mental Health Inpatient Unit which has been purpose-built and sits on a 3-hectare site within the Belfast City Hospital estate. It combines mental health inpatient facilities previously spread across three Belfast sites. The new facility provides 80 acute mental health en-suite bedrooms including six psychiat- ric intensive care beds. The unit consists of five separate intercon- necting buildings arranged around a cloistered central courtyard and communal and administration areas. www.morleyglass.co.uk VEKA nominations shortlisted on the double VEKA Group is proud to have been shortlisted in not one, but two categories at this year’s G Awards.
