Mike Butterick Succeeds Natalie Little as GGF President

The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has announced that Michael (Mike) Butterick, Marketing Director for Saint-Gobain Glass, is taking on the role of President.

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

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

“We all extend a huge thank you to Natalie for everything she has brought to the role during her tenure,” said Ben Wallace, GGF Managing Director.

“Her improvements will have a lasting impact. Going forward, Mike’s insight, direction and expertise will continue to add massive value.”

Mike added: “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, Mike has worked in the flat-glass sector where he is Marketing Director for Saint-Gobain Glass. Before this, Mike spent 18 years working in the window systems sector of the glazing industry.

“I feel that this experience has given me a useful perspective”, Mike said. “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.”

Mike has been involved with the GGF for several years, including serving as a Board Director.

Mike has supported a variety of GGF forums, including recently Chairing the Consultation Response Group, which has been focusing on providing feedback to Government on proposed standards and regulations, including the forthcoming Future Homes Standard.
