Modern Joinery’s Sarah Ball attends CRASH Spring event

Last month, Sarah Ball, Modern Joinery Founder and ‘STY Master’ at sister publication PiGs AKA People in Glazing Society, was honoured to attend the construction industry charity CRASH’s Spring Event at 80 Fenchurch Street.

Sarahl said: “We are very happy to be supporting CRASH, whose work with homelessness and hospice projects is vital across the UK. The evening highlighted three of CRASH’s flagship initiatives, demonstrating the powerful impact of the construction industry when it comes together for a greater cause.

“It was inspiring to hear firsthand the difference CRASH is making. At PiGs, we can be a conduit for connecting the glazing sector to projects where support is truly needed.

“The event was really well supported and the willingness to support CRASH is massively impressive.”

The event also provided valuable networking opportunities, with Sarah catching up with CRASH’s Chief Executive Trisha Pickersgill and Marketing and Communications Manager Imogen Heap.

With growing interest in glazing across a range of upcoming developments, Modern Joinery and PiGs are committed to supporting both large-scale and community-based initiatives through collaboration and awareness.
