Back and ‘PiGger’ than ever

Back and ‘PiGger’ than ever

After a record-breaking 2024, PiGs aka the People in Glazing Society’s networking events are back for 2025, kicking off in Birmingham on Thursday 27 February.

In the four events that took place last year, all brought record-breaking numbers of the glazing community together under one roof.

The chance to connect with members of the glazing community, from right across the supply chain, meant the events had over 200 in attendance in both Birmingham and Manchester, and over 100 in Bristol and Newcastle, which was added to the calendar for the first time this year

The events also saw many from the glazing sector attending a PiGs event for the very first time.

After the Birmingham event, PiGs then brings its legendary atmosphere to the FIT Show on Wednesday 30 April, before a trip to the southwest and  Bristol on Thursday 22 May.

In a new addition to the calendar following calls to return, PiGs then heads to London for its ‘BiG PiG Summer Party’ on Thursday 17 July, before heading to the northeast and to Newcastle on Thursday 18 September.

Ending the year on a bang, Manchester then plays host to the final PiGs event on Thursday 13 November.

Tickets are free to those in the industry. To book your tickets for the Birmingham event, click here
