PiGs attendees go mad for Manchester

PiGs attendees go mad for Manchester

Oh Man(chester), you did not disappoint.

The fourth and final PiGs networking event of 2024 in Manchester was another huge success for the People in Glazing Society aka PiGs, with more than 200 professionals from across the glazing supply chain in attendance.

Always a firm favourite with the sector, it reached new heights with a host of newcomers to the event joining the core members of the ‘PiG Sty’.

The record-breaking event, which came on the back of highest ever attendances in the other three events this year in Birmingham, Bristol and Newcastle, was testament that PiGs remains a big part of the glazing social calendar.

The event enticed members from within the joinery sector, including The Joinery Network partners The Vacuum Glazing Network, who attended for the first time, alongside PiGs regulars Regalead and Balls2 Marketing amongst others.

Sarah Ball, PiGs STY Master and Modern Joinery Founder, was again blown away by the support.

She said: “It’s great to see the number of companies involved in timber windows and doors joining the PiGs events. We are hoping to continue to grow this number next year.

“Manchester was an exciting event, with record numbers. There was definitely an ‘end of term’ feeling with it being the last event of 2024.

“None of this would happen without our super sponsors.  They continue to support the events with such generosity. Thank you to all of you.”

She added: “I can’t wait for 2025, we have extra venues planned and a big presence at FIT Show.”

The PiGs events will return in 2025, starting in Birmingham on Thursday 27 February 2025.

We look forward to seeing many of you there.
