On the new additions, Brian Baker, Chairman of the GGF Board said: “I am pleased to welcome all four new Members to the GGF Board. With their individual and collective experience, the new Board Members will add a great deal to the GGF going forward at a time of considerable change and new challenges for our industry.”

The organisation has also announced the formation of a new company called “The Helix Group” which will act as the umbrella company for all its subsidiary commercial companies.

Within The Helix Group will be industry brands including:

• FENSA, the main competent person scheme for the industry’s installation companies
• GGFi, one of the industry’s leading home improvement insurance companies
• British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC), the premier UK authority for independently verified ratings of energy efficient windows and energy efficient doors
• RISA, the independent and impartial Inspection and Auditing services to the Fenestration and Construction Industries
• Helix Training (formerly GGF Training Ltd), the unique education and training organization for a wide range of industries
• Borough IT, the award winning IT solutions company

Jon Vanstone, Chief Executive of The Helix Group said: “This is an exciting development following the GGF’s decision to restructure its companies. With all the GGF’s commercial subsidiaries under one Group company, we will focus on our strengths and aim to further improve the performances of the companies within the Group to provide greater support for the GGF.”
