Partnering with FENSA, the stand (G40) will specifically focus on the latest information about the GGF’s recently launched online training platform, with a special appearance by its knowledgeable avatar GRACE. Visitors will be able to see a demonstration of the platform and gain a clearer idea of what needs to be done to ensure its workforce remains fully MTC compliant going into 2026.

Following the training theme, the GGF will also be sponsoring the show’s seminar programme, drawing attention to the importance of keeping up to date with changing work accreditations, competencies, technical innovations and overall industry knowledge. Over the three days it will host a number of talks and presentations  to ensure visitors have access to the latest industry updates. 

“The industry is going through a massive amount of change this year in an unpredictable economic environment that has already proven to be very challenging,” commented GGF managing director Ben Wallace. “Training and filling the skills gap is going to be crucial when it comes to maintaining a robust position within the marketplace with a fully accredited, valued, workforce. Our members know that the opportunities available to them through the GGF Training platform will keep them ahead of the curve when it comes to proving competencies and stealing a march on the competition.”

As well as training for specific industry related competencies, the GGF Training platform also has a wealth of courses across operational practices for window and glass companies. Visitors to the stand will be able to come away from the stand with a clearer idea of what they need to do to upskill themselves and their staff, and how that can be achieved through the GGF platform.

“The impact of the end of grandfather rights has not yet been felt, and there is still time to make the changes that will guarantee a smooth transition,” added FENSA operations director Lis Clarke. “The GGF Training platform completely simplifies the road to competency compliance in a way that is highly accessible and cost effective. At FIT Show we will be demonstrating to window companies how FENSA can structured a failsafe route for them through these complex changes”.

Also having a presence on the stand will be Installsure, the industry’s biggest Insurance Backed Guarantee provider which is also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

“In a challenging economic climate, protection against the unpredictable is more important than ever,” said Installsure’s director and head of insurance, Irene Akpojaro. “Our presence on the GGF stand will give window companies the opportunity to better understand how we can help build confidence and give reassurance.”

Finally, the GGF has also joined forces with Business Pilot to co-host the PiGs event on the GGF stand.
The GGF and FENSA will be available on stand number G40 throughout the three days of the show.
