KJM Group MD Attends House of Commons Event to Champion UK Glass Industry

Mark Pearce Joins Industry Leaders and MPs at Westminster to Discuss Sector’s £7 Billion Future

Date: November 2025

Mark Pearce, Managing Director of KJM Group, recently represented the company at a high-profile event in the Houses of Parliament, reinforcing KJM’s commitment to the future of UK glass and glazing.

The exclusive Westminster gathering, titled “Bringing Glass & Glazing into Focus,” was hosted by David Baines, MP for St Helens North, and brought together key figures, government ministers, and stakeholders from across the UK’s glass sector.

The Core of the Discussion: £7 Billion and 200 Years of Heritage

The event served to highlight the glass and glazing sector’s massive economic importance, underscoring its £7 billion annual contribution to the UK economy. With St Helens—the historic heart of British glass manufacturing—at the forefront, discussions focused on:

Policy Intervention: The critical need to support the industry through government industrial strategy.
Innovation & Security: The sector’s vital role in national security, energy, and defence, alongside new developments in sustainable glass manufacturing.

The attendance of representatives from major collective bodies, including British Glass, the Glass & Glazing Federation, and Glass Futures, underscored the gravity of the discussions.
