26th September 2017

Ritec International has congratulated long-standing ClearShield customer, GO GLASS with reaching two finals at the G17 Awards. This Cambridge-based company is shortlisted for Glass Company of the Year and Unsung Hero at this event.

The company remains a family-run business and Clive Sparkes and sisters Tracy Saunders (Sales and Marketing) and Emma Sparkes (Sales and Specification).

The Glass Company of the Year nomination has come at a good time as Go Glass are approaching its 40th anniversary. Tracy said, “It is great that our small talented Go Glass team have been recognised for their hard work and commitment over the last 40 years. Led by our Director Clive, the design and production team hold NVQs from Level 2 to 4 and utilise both traditional methods and modern day technology to produce some great bespoke glass design work for both domestic and commercial customers.”

Clive, the Unsung Hero nominee. has designed and produced three glass sculptures for auction in aid of CLIC Sargent, the cancer charity for children, young people and their families. The first two sculptures, a Ducati 996 sportsbike and Lewis Hamilton’s 2009 F1 car, were full-size original replicas and already raised thousands for the charity.

The latest sculpture is called ‘Pushing the Limits’, a full size glass athlete, and bids are now being accepted on www.goglass.co.uk/charity-auction.php.

Clive said: “The glass sculpture work we auctioned for CLIC Sargent charity has already raised over £10,000 and we hope to continue to raise even more for the charity with our glass runner.”
