• GGF’s Conference Returns This September

After a pandemic-enforced moratorium, the GGF has reinstated its annual Members’ Day, which takes place on 28 September at Etihad Stadium, the home of Manchester City Football Club. A tour of the stadium is on the cards too.

Traditionally Members Day is the key point in the calendar when the GGF’s Board and officers meet the majority of members face-to-face. This year, a strong programme of presentations on a wide range of key topics has been coordinated to provide tangible content. This is in addition to an opportunity for members to network and discuss key issues with the GGF team and industry leaders.

Members are invited to join a tour of the Etihad from 11.00am, with registration for the formal programme commencing from 11.30am and the programme itself commencing at 1:00pm when president Tony Smith will give the opening address.

Speakers

Guest speakers include Dave Dalton, CEO of British Glass, and Jade Lewis, chief executive of the Sustainable Energy Association, whilst an intensive programme will ensure that members learn about the key initiatives that are being introduced throughout the GGF Group.

Presentations by GGF Group officers include Dave Mechem, Head of RISA, on a potential solution to the controversy surrounding trickle vents, whilst the GGF’s John Mannell will bring members up to date on the key Skilled Pathways Scheme, that is designed to provide solutions to the skills gap. 

Strategy

GGF chief development officer, Anda Gregory, will be providing key insights in to the GGF strategy for the next five years and the increased value that will be provided to members. This will run in conjunction on improving the member benefits to welcome a new influx of businesses to the federation.

Dinner

Maintaining the football theme, following the conclusion of the formal programme, members are invited to attend the evening reception at The Football Museum, also in Manchester, commencing at 6:30pm.
