Elite Group Scotland Joins the Glass and Glazing Federation
By Elite Group Scotland | News & Accreditations
We have some exciting news to share: Elite Group Scotland are now proud members of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) the UK's leading trade body for companies working in the glass and glazing industry. This is another significant step in our commitment to giving our customers the highest possible levels of confidence and protection when they choose us for their windows and doors.
What is the Glass and Glazing Federation?
The Glass and Glazing Federation has been the voice of the UK glass and glazing industry for over 40 years. It represents hundreds of companies involved in the manufacture, supply and installation of windows, doors, conservatories, glazed extensions and other glass products, setting professional and technical standards for the industry and protecting the interests of customers who use member companies.
GGF membership isn't simply a matter of paying a subscription. Members must demonstrate that they meet the Federation's requirements for quality, professionalism and customer service, and must commit to following the GGF's Code of Good Practice. It is a genuine, independently recognised mark of professionalism in our industry.
Why We Applied for GGF Membership
When you're inviting a company into your home to carry out significant improvement work, you want to know they're credible, accountable and held to recognised professional standards. Our own word alone isn't enough and we wouldn't expect it to be.
Joining the GGF is our way of giving our customers independent, third-party verification that Elite Group Scotland meets the professional standards expected of a reputable glazing company. Combined with our Consumer Protection Association (CPA) membership which we announced earlier this year. GGF membership means our customers now have two of the most respected industry accreditations backing every installation we complete.
What GGF Membership Means for Our Customers
As a GGF member, every customer who chooses Elite Group Scotland now benefits from:
✓ Confidence that we meet the GGF's professional and technical standards for window and door installation
✓ The assurance that we abide by the GGF Code of Good Practice, covering quality, transparency and customer service
✓ Access to the GGF's independent conciliation service if any issue arises that we cannot resolve directly
✓ Up-to-date knowledge — GGF membership keeps us current with the latest industry regulations, standards and best practice
✓ An independently verified track record of professionalism, not just our own claims
The GGF Code of Good Practice
One of the most important aspects of GGF membership is the requirement to follow the GGF's Code of Good Practice. This sets out clear standards for how member companies should operate from the accuracy of quotes and the clarity of written contracts, through to the quality of installations and the handling of any customer complaints.
For our customers, this is meaningful. It means there's an agreed, industry-recognised framework governing how we do business and if you ever felt we hadn't lived up to those standards, you would have access to an independent conciliation service to help resolve the matter fairly.
GGF and CPA Together — The Strongest Protection in the Industry
Elite Group Scotland now hold membership of both the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) and the Consumer Protection Association (CPA). We believe this combination gives our customers some of the strongest protection available anywhere in the UK home improvement market:
✓ GGF: professional standards, Code of Good Practice and independent conciliation
✓ CPA: deposit and payment protection, insurance-backed guarantees and dispute resolution
✓ Our own 10-year installation guarantee on every job we carry out
Together, these accreditations mean that when you choose Elite Group Scotland, you're not just taking our word for it, you have independent, third-party organisations standing behind the quality and integrity of our work.
