Why should a company join?

No business can afford nowadays to operate in isolation. Their progress and profitability are constantly affected by public policy, both nationally and internationally, over which individually they cannot expect to exercise control. British Glass is the means by which companies in competition with each other in the glass sector can work together for the common good.

Membership confers upon companies the power to influence the legislative and regulatory framework within which they have to operate backed up by a vast wealth of knowledge and experience spanning nearly four decades.

Who does British Glass represent?

British Glass represents all sectors of the UK glass industry  (see Glass Industry Sectors).
