Star in the Sty: Andy Lobban

To celebrate the PEOPLE of the glazing sector who regularly support all things PiGs, we make them our Star in the Sty, as a small thank you for their support. This week’s Star is Glazpart’s Andy Lobban! Find out more about Andy below.

Name: Andy Lobban

Company: Glazpart

Been going to PiGs since: I would say I started going around 2018

Favourite PiGs location: Birmingham is always good, nice and close to home too. Manchester is a great City to go out in, but I have a soft spot for PiGs Bristol. It’s a good location, a bit smaller and you get the chance to speak to nearly everyone that goes.

Tipple of choice: You’ll rarely catch me saying no to a beer, but a JD and coke will always be the drink I finish the night with.

What’s the best thing about PiGs? Great to catch up with people you know, meet people you don’t, and see so many people in the industry get together and do a bit of networking.

What makes PiGs different from other industry events? You are always guaranteed a good atmosphere at PiGs, it’s a relaxed friendly setting where everyone will give each other a bit of time to get to know you better and build new and existing relationships.

Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? Without naming names, there are always a few face you know a bit better than others and some you know will guarantee you an entertaining evening, but a big part of PiGs is meeting new people at each event and enjoying your evening with them.

Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? I’ve had some really good nights out with PiGs, a couple of particularly memorable nights in both Birmingham and Manchester, but the Irish bar after the last PiGs in Newcastle will take some beating, Great night.

Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? Well, that is a very open question. PiGs have already been to some great venues, and I heard Dublin maybe in the pipeline for next year which would be great fun.

If we were planning on going a little further afield and no one had to worry about getting home or working on the Friday, then why not go somewhere we are guaranteed a few beers in the sun? All in the name of the glazing obviously.

Who should come to the next PiGs event (in one sentence)? Anyone and everyone that has anything to do with glazing, new or old, that wants to talk shop and meet more people in the same industry as them.
