Women in Fenestration Network Launches

The Women in Fenestration Network (WFN) has officially launched, ahead of a landmark inaugural event on 25 June 2026.

Created to connect, support and inspire women across all roles in the fenestration and glazing sectors, the network is already gaining strong industry backing.

Founder Sarah Ball was inspired to establish WFN following her experience attending a women’s day within the timber sector.

“After attending a day for women in timber, I knew that the fenestration sector would benefit from having something similar. The response so far has been brilliant, and we were able to get FIT Show and launch partners Access Marketing, Aluminium Fire Systems, Emplas Window Systems, Glass and Glazing Federation and Glass Express Midlands to get it kicked off in style.”

WFN is now calling on organisations across the industry to support and partner with the network as it builds momentum ahead of the June 2026 event. The initiative aims to create a dedicated platform for professional development, community, representation, and inspiration for women at every stage of their fenestration careers.

FIT Show has pledged its support, offering visibility and space within its seminar programme at the 2027 exhibition.

Nickie West, Event Director for FIT Show, said: “FIT Show is proud to support the newly launched Women in Fenestration Network as part of our ongoing commitment to champion diversity and inclusion across the glazing and fenestration sector. We’re delighted to provide space within our learning programme for dedicated discussions on women’s roles in the industry and look forward to supporting the inaugural Bristol event on 25th June.

“By working together, introducing an ambassador programme, and giving WFN a platform through FIT Show and our partners, we aim to help bridge the skills gap and inspire future leaders. I’m happy to confirm our endorsement, and welcome WFN as an important initiative that will address many of the key challenges facing our industry today.”
