The Federation’s current projects include the ‘Cut the VAT’ campaign and an attempt to amend the Green Deal and Energy Companies Obligation so that it benefits the industry.

The brands within the GGF Group include, FENSA, British Fenestration Ratings Council, GGFi, GGF Training Ltd and Borough IT.

The amendment is subject to the government’s decision on funding and lifespan of ECO, although DECC is planning further consultations surrounding the future of the scheme beyond 2015 and how to encourage consumers to install energy efficient measures.
