A night of swine, piggin’ and song at Birmingham PiGs

More than 200 of the glazing industry’s finest rocked up to make the most recent PiGs party the biggest event to date at Birmingham, with live music from the ever-popular house band ensuring that a lively night was had by all. Such classics as ‘Porking on Sunshine’, ‘I Fought the Boar’, and ‘Stand by your Ham’ had guests hogging the dance floor.

Taking place at Revolucion De Cuba on Thursday 29 September, the final UK PiGs event of the year was a huge success and saw a host of new faces and companies in attendance, building on the renowned networking opportunities that these get-togethers present.

“There was an amazing buzz in the room and everyone looked to be having a great time,” says Sarah Ball, PiGs Organiser. “The band, Ellie Jones & The Giants, were superb once again and it was lovely to see so many new faces there, as well as lots of regulars.

“I’d also like to say a personal thanks to everyone who has bought one of our PiGs badges at events this year. We have raised more than £700 in donations, plus lots more direct to my Just Giving page, for We Mind & Kelly Matters, which has been our chosen charity this year.

“The money is vital to support the work they do for suicide prevention, as well as raising awareness and understanding of mental health.”

The 35 sponsors for Birmingham were: Abcell, AGC, Alutech Systems, APS, Arkay Windows, Bison Frames UK, Brownhills Glass Company, Business Pilot, Comp Door, Easy Vent, Edgetech, Emplas, Extrudaseal, FIT Show, The Georgian Bar Company, Glass Express, Glazerite, Glazpart, Kubu, Mackenzie Glass, Mi Glass, Origin Frames, QANW, Quickslide, RegaLead, Reynaers Aluminium, Selecta Systems, SOL Conservatory Roofs, Supalite, Thermoseal Group, UK Doors Online, Unique Window Systems, Vertik-Al, Window Ware, and Yale Door & Window Solutions.
