The Glass & Glazing Federation has announced that Michael Butterick, the marketing director for Saint-Gobain Glass, is taking on the role of President.

He is taking over from Natalie Little, whose tenure has come to an end after two years.

Little’s dedication to the GGF has helped to amplify the association’s voice through clearer messaging, better visibility, and making sure that people felt heard.

Little’s large impact

“We all extend a huge thank you to Natalie for everything she has brought to the role during her tenure,” says GGF managing director Ben Wallace. “Her improvements will have a lasting impact. Going forward, Mike’s insight, direction and expertise will continue to add massive value.”

Mike Butterick adds: “Considering the changes that our industry is experiencing within our operating environment, the need for all sectors to understand each other is more important than ever. Hopefully I will have a role to play in that.  Above all, I very much look forward to supporting the GGF team to promote the value of our industry and deliver benefits for all GGF members.”

For the past 15 years, Butterick has worked in the flat-glass sector. Before this, he spent 18 years working in the window systems sector of the industry. He says: “I feel this experience has given me a useful perspective.  I have seen our industry from different viewpoints, through working with window fabricators and installers, and also with glass processors and a wide range of glazing professionals.”

Butterick has supported a variety of GGF forums, including recently chairing the Consultation Response Group, which has been focussing on providing feedback to government on proposed standards and regulations, including the forthcoming Future Homes Standard.
