PiGs Bristol 2025: Another brilliant night for the glazing sector

PiGs Bristol 2025 is in the history books, and what a fantastic evening it turned out to be.

With far better weather than last year, it was the perfect time to catch up following a brilliant FIT Show just a few weeks earlier.

More than 80 people from across the glazing industry gathered on the Bristol harbourside for a relaxed night of networking. PiGs is quickly becoming the place to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people and build lasting relationships.

PiGs Bristol took place at Brown & Bye, where guests praised both the quality of conversation and the warm hospitality from the venue staff.

George Lewis, Editor at PiGs, shared his thoughts on the night, saying:” We’re so pleased to see PiGs Bristol become a regular fixture in the industry calendar alongside our other events throughout the year.

“PiGs is all about bringing people in glazing together. We had attendees from right across the supply chain, and the atmosphere showed just how valuable that mix can be.

“And of course, a big thank you to our fantastic sponsors. Their continued support means our events remain free to attend and help everyone enjoy a drink or two on us.”

Attention now turns to PiGs’ next event, its Summer Charity Boat Party in London down the River Thames on Thursday 17 July from 5.45pm.

Unlike the other events, which are free to attend, this is a ticketed event, with all proceeds going to PiGs’ Charity of the Year, Harry’s Pals. Tickets are priced at just £10 per person.

Tickets can be purchased via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-pigs-aka-people-in-glazing-society-summer-boat-party-tickets-1217840466619?aff=oddtdtcreator

There is also an opportunity to support this eventer through sponsorship, at just £250. For more information, email Sarah Ball at sarah@peopleinglazing.co.uk.
