GGF creates advisory panel for
emergency response
July 2017

The GGF has formed a new Government Advisory Panel (GAP) that will be part of the GGF’s Political Strategy Committee, in the wake of the Grenfell fire tragedy as well as recent terror attacks in London and Manchester.

The organisation expects that the Panel will be particularly effective when national and local Government may require expert advice on the many products, services and sectors covered by the GGF Membership. Its formation will enable the GGF to co-ordinate its internal resource and Members’ opinions to enable swifter and more focused, but fully considered, responses to emergency situations.

Chief Executive Phil Pluck said: “It is important that the GGF offers Government solutions and support when incidents concerning glass and glazing occur. The new Government Advisory Panel will help the GGF pull together its internal resources and Members’ expertise more effectively and efficiently.”

The GGF is now in contact all the Chairs of its Specialist Groups and will ask each Group to nominate two experts each, who can be called on for their opinions and advice when any emergency occurs. 

The GGF will be promoting the new Government Advisory Panel and its progress to all Government departments, all local councils and to the trade and mainstream media.
