Major Move For Mawford

The Glass & Glazing Federation has appointed Lauren Mawford as its director. She has been at the GGF for almost four years, working across a range of functions.

During her time with the Federation, Mawford has developed a detailed understanding of the needs of membership. In her new role at the helm of the organisation, she will focus on strategic leadership, decision-making and long-term planning. She will lead the team and oversee all key operational areas, including membership, technical, training, consultancy and advocacy.

Working closely with the CEO and Board, she will ensure organisational alignment and delivery against the GGF’s strategic priorities.

Delivering value

“I’m incredibly excited to step into the role of director”, says Mawford. “A key part of this role is making sure everything we do is aligned and delivering value to our members, while maintaining the high standards the GGF is known for.

“For members, this means a more joined-up experience, clearer communication and a continued focus on technical excellence and standards. It also allows us to think more strategically about how we grow, innovate and deliver long-term value.”

A central focus for Mawford will be to ensure the GGF remains the voice of the industry, while strengthening collaboration across the wider GGF group, ensuring closer alignment between businesses, sharing expertise and maximising value for members across the whole organisation.

Women in fenestration

Mawford is also the first woman to hold the position of Director at the GGF. “It’s something I’m really proud of,” she says. “The industry has traditionally been male-dominated, but we are seeing positive change, not just in representation but in how we think about leadership and diversity of perspective.”

Her appointment comes at a pivotal time for the glass and glazing sector, as regulatory, environmental and commercial pressures continue to reshape the built environment. With a strong internal track record and a clear strategic focus, Mawford’s leadership will play a key role in shaping the next phase of the Federation’s development.
