Green Roof Organisation Gets New Chairman
The Green Roof Organisation (GRO), an important independent voice for the greening industry, has announced the appointment of a new Chair, marking another important step in strengthening the UK’s living roof and green infrastructure sector. As the organisation enters this next chapter, The Urban Greening Company is pleased to highlight the continued contribution of its very own Mike Cottage, who remains an active and committed member of the GRO Board.
The appointment of the highly experienced Chris Bridgman reflects GRO’s ongoing commitment to raising standards, supporting best practice, and driving the adoption of high‑quality green roof systems across the UK. With the sector continuing to expand and evolve, GRO’s leadership plays a vital role in shaping policy, guidance, and industry collaboration.
Representing the Contractor Category of the GRO board, Mike brings more than two decades of hands‑on experience in green roof construction, eco design and sustainable urban development. His work with TUGC continues to champion practical, resilient, and biodiversity‑focused solutions, values that align closely with GRO’s mission to raise standards and support best practice across the industry.
TUGC remains committed to supporting GRO’s mission and to promoting high‑quality, biodiversity‑focused green roof and urban greening solutions throughout the UK.
