Green Roof Organisation (GRO) introduces a new chair of the Board, Chris Bridgman, as other Board members retain their seats for another 3-year term.

Bridgman steps in to replace the past chair, Giles Doland, who will continue to serve as a Board member.

Managing partner of Bridgman & Bridgman LLP, Bridgman has been working in horticulture for the last 17 years, focusing on constructing and maintaining green, living roofs across the UK.

Bridgman looks toward the future:

“While we continue to grow our membership, I want to focus on delivering value for our members in what is a difficult economic time. Working and campaigning together as an industry, we can encourage the growth of green roofs on new and existing buildings, by raising awareness, breaking down barriers and providing good guidance and resources to the consumer.”

Bridgman also thanks GRO’s co-founder Mark Harris for “his support, encouragement and understanding.”

This year, GRO will be hosting events across the UK to improve accessibility, spend time visiting member organisations and strengthen relationships with Europe and the rest of the world.
