Two PiGs in a Pod – Brian McDonald 2026

By: Rachael Lewis / 13 August 2026 /

Brian McDonald of FOREL UK & Ireland returns to Two PiGs in a Pod for another conversation with host George, picking up where his previous episode left off and looking at what has happened across the glazing industry over the past 18 months.

This time, the conversation covers some of the biggest topics currently shaping the sector, including the growing focus on triple glazing AKA thin triples, the industry’s readiness for its wider adoption, and the feedback FOREL is receiving from the market.

Brian also reflects on a huge milestone for FOREL as the company celebrates 50 years in business, discussing the secrets behind five decades of success, the incredible anniversary celebrations and whether reaching 50 has made the business more reflective or even more ambitious for the future.

And with FOREL already confirmed as an exhibitor at FIT Show 2027, Brian explains why the company committed early, what the show means to FOREL and gives us some early hints about what visitors might expect.

We also talk about why face-to-face conversations remain so important, FOREL’s priorities for the next 12 months, and what success could look like when Brian returns to the podcast again.
