The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has launched a redesigned technical hub. The new hub aims to provide a more informative service, primarily for GGF members.
The GGF Technical Hub covers core operations such as consultancy, technical consultations and publications such as GGF data sheets and guides. It also advertises the GGF’s technical services to non-members and the wider industry, including architects, specifiers and building designers.
David Borland, the GGF’s senior technical officer and the driving force behind this new online development, said: “Rather than simply update the generic technical information page, we wanted to create an online home where visitors to the GGF website can find all aspects of the GGF’s technical resource. The new technical hub will provide a much more immersive experience.”
The concertina-style drop down design has multiple subsections for the user’s convenience and ease of navigation, with each topic providing links to relevant documents and/or easy online booking forms. The hub offers the latest technical news and access to an events and meetings calendar that includes details of the GGF’s specialist technical group meetings, webinars and online forums. The hub also houses relevant guidance from government, and information such as consultations that may impact on members’ business.
Links enable access to the GGF’s technical library of over 100 publications, and the hub also has a complete list of industry standards under review from BSI (UK standards), CEN (European standards) and ISO (international standards). Visitors to the technical hub can see the current status of each standard and relevant dates for response. For GGF members, the latest GGF technical report is also available to download and/or view.
John Agnew, the GGF’s managing director, said: “We are working on all fronts to upgrade and develop our operations. In March, we launched the GGF digital marketing toolkit, and we have now followed up with the launch of the GGF technical hub. In the next few months, we are aiming to launch many more digital products, services and publications, to primarily support our members by making the road to recovery much easier.”
