Our Impact

As the Chief Executive of the UK’s Glass Trade Federation, I’d been aware of, but not involved in the Glass Sellers for a number of years, but hadn’t taken the time to understand what it did and how I might benefit from membership. It wasn’t until friends and colleagues who had been members for many years suggested that I looked more closely that I realised that there was much more to it than I’d assumed. As someone representing an industry sector I need to develop relationships to assist my political leverage on behalf of my members. Friends told me that the Glass Sellers had substantial connection within the City and across the political spectrum and so I joined to build up my contacts.

I have been fascinated by the City and its heritage and was honoured to be invited to join the Glass Sellers’ Company.  I work in the Telecoms, Media and Technology sector which is heavily reliant on glass.  Through the Glass Sellers’ Company I have had the opportunity to learn about the numerous uses of glass in art, medicine, technology and many other fields.  I enjoy the fellowship and opportunities to meet and connect with men and women from varied professional backgrounds.  I love the tradition and grandeur of our events.
