Mr Petrov has worked for several years alongside Mr Charnock and credits him with the growth and development of the glass industry in the region.
Mr Charnock’s career began in 1971 at Pilkington Glass in St. Helens. In 1988, he moved with his family to the other side of the world, joining Glaston in 2019 after working in numerous management roles in Pilkington Glass Australia and Viridian Glass.
