A PiGgin great time to be had

The final People in Glazing Society, aka PiGs networking event will take place on Thursday 7 November from 5pm at Revolución de Cuba in Manchester.

Whether you’re a timber manufacturer, an installer, fabricator, supplier, or simply passionate about glazing, this is your chance to connect, share ideas, and forge lasting relationships in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Following the success of our previous events in Birmingham, Bristol and Newcastle, PiGs is aiming to end the year with a bang!

Modern Joinery Founder Sarah Ball and The Joinery Network Founder Director Andy Ball will be on hosting duties along George Lewis, Editor at both Modern Joinery and PiGs.

George said: “This year has seen a real increase in people from throughout the glazing sector and beyond come to our events, and Manchester is looking to be just as popular.

“The relaxed atmosphere and ability to meet people from across the supply chain has meant some meaningful conversations have been had. So, whether you’re a PiGs regular, or this will be your first time, get yourself to Manchester on 7 November. You won’t be disappointed.”
