Another Successful Manchester Pigs

People in Glazing Society (PIGS) saw another hugely successful event at the Castlefield Rooms in Manchester on 2 March 2017.

The first 2017 event drew in people from across the entire glazing industry for drinks, nibbles and fun networking.

PIGS organiser and Client Strategy Director at Balls2 Marketing, Sarah Ball said: “I’m properly chuffed with the turn-out in Manchester this year. It’s always one of our most popular PIGS events but I think this has been our best-attended yet.

“We’ve almost hit the 200 attendees mark and it’s great to see faces old and new enjoying a drink and a good chat.”

As usual, PIGS received fantastic support from the industry. 36 companies and organisations dipped their hands in their pockets to sponsor the event. All of the money went behind the bar to start the PIGS party.

Sarah continued: “PIGS doesn’t make a profit – it’s all about getting people in glazing together for a good time. As ever, we have our fantastic industry sponsors to thank for making PIGS happen.

Sarah adds: “I would like to say thank you to everyone who supports and attends PIGS and I’d also like to thank the Balls2 Marketing team for helping me with the organisation and promotion of PIGS.”
