PiGs Manchester closes out the year with a bang

The final PiGs AKA People in Glazing Society networking event of 2025 took place in Manchester, bringing over 200 from the glazing and fenestration together for a memorable end to the year.

Hosted at Revolución de Cuba on Peter Street, the event marked one of the busiest PiGs gatherings of the year.

Professionals from across the sector came together for an evening of relaxed networking and lively conversation. As ever, the informal atmosphere provided the perfect setting for industry colleagues to reconnect, share ideas and build new relationships as the year draws to a close.

The Manchester event is always one of the most anticipated in the PiGs calendar, and this year proved no exception. With a bustling venue and a diverse mix of regular attendees and first-timers, the evening showcased the continued growth and energy of the PiGs community.

George Lewis, Editor at People in Glazing Society, and sister publication, Modern Joinery News, said: “Manchester never disappoints, and this year’s final PiGs event was no exception. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces alongside lots of new ones, all coming together to celebrate the brilliant people behind our industry. PiGs continues to go from strength to strength, and Manchester was the perfect way to round off another busy year.”
