The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has been shortlisted for two major categories at the Glass Focus Awards 2025, organised by British Glass, recognising its leadership in sustainability and commitment to upskilling the glazing industry.

The GGF has been named a finalist in the Sustainable Practice category for its national recycling scheme, which collects and recycles members’ old PVC-U, aluminium, and timber frames – as well as post-consumer glass – free of charge.

Helping to promote the circular economy, reducing landfill waste and reusing valuable materials, the initiative reinforces the GGF’s ongoing commitment to supporting its members in adopting greener, lower-carbon practices across the supply chain.

In addition, the Federation’s Training Hub has also been shortlisted in the Strengthening Business Through People category.

The Training Hub encompasses the Federation’s Skilled Pathways Scheme, as well as a huge range of sector-specific training programmes, including its globally recognised IOSH course – the only IOSH accredited course in the UK specifically for the glass and glazing industry.

Providing flexible, accredited training to equip professionals with the knowledge and confidence to succeed, the Training Hub is designed to tackle the skills crisis head-on, giving members discounted opportunities to upskill their teams and train new talent.

“It’s an honour for the Federation to be recognised for our leadership in both sustainability and people development,” said Lauren Mawford, GGF head of commercial and operations. “These nominations reflect the dedication of our members and partners who share our vision for a safer, more sustainable, and skilled industry.”

The winners will be announced at the Glass Focus Awards Ceremony on Thursday 20 November 2025, at the Manchester Marriott Hotel Piccadilly, where the GGF is also proud to be sponsoring an award.
