Back in 2018, Mark was elected by the GGF Home Improvement Executive to be the GGF Vice-President and since then he has sat on the GGF Board of Directors. He was subsequently also then elected as the Glass and Glazing Federation President and GGF Board Chairman to serve from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2022.
