Jon Vanstone, chief executive of The Helix Group commented: “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.”
Brian Baker, chairman of the GGF board and immediate past president added: “This is positive step by the GGF board that will allow the subsidiary companies to concentrate solely on their commercial objectives whilst the GGF focuses on continuing the delivery of high level benefits for its membership.”
