David Woodward, the former Commercial Director for Pilkington Building Products, has established Global Glass Consult (GGC) to provide a range of advisory services to companies involved with the flat glass market.

A graduate in business studies, David is one of the industry's most experienced individuals with more than 36 years experience in the flat glass industry worldwide. Through GGC David now offers a range of services that includes commercial strategy and policy, business planning, investment projects, new product development and product/market exploitation. Technical, logistical, manufacturing and processing projects are also within GGC's remit.

David's achievements and contacts are numerous; he established Pilkington's first forum for global marketing co-ordination, and until recently was a long-standing member of the Board of Directors of Groupement Europeen des Producteurs de Verre Plat (GEPVP) – the European association of flat glass producers. Contacts with the world's major glass producers are extensive. One of the key projects in which David held a key responsibility at Pilkington was the implementation of the company's SAP and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems.

Global Glass Consult can offer a range of services to all sectors within the flat glass/building products sector worldwide.’Running any flat glass related business is increasingly complex, and under constant pressure from legislation on the one hand, and competition on the other, from within the glass industry but also other building materials,’ says David. ‘I can now use the experience I gained from working with one of the world's top glass producers to provide balance and support for companies facing these pressures.

‘I believe that the skill set available through GGC is unique.’ Visit www.GlobalGlass Consult.com for more information, or contact David Woodward on 01704 564152.
