Izabela Payne at a PiGs networking event alongside Sarah Ball and Mark Frain

To celebrate the PEOPLE of the glazing sector who regularly support us at PiGs networking events, we make them our Star in the STY as a small thank you for their support. This week’s Star is Window Ware’s Izabela Payne! Find out more about Izabela below.

Name: Izabela Payne

Company: Window Ware

Been going to PiGs since: Cannot remember exact date, but it will be a good few years now.

Favourite PiGs location: Manchester or Birmingham, both great and I couldn’t pick one.

Tipple of choice: Pornstar Martini of course!

What’s the best thing about PiGs? Fantastic event that allow everyone from our industry to gather together in a relax social setting.

What makes PiGs different from other industry events? People, it wouldn’t be the same without them. We can always relay on each other.

Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? Everyone, but most delightful are the catch ups with people who you haven’t had a time to talk to for a while and when you actually get back together, you can still have a good laugh over a drink.

Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? PiGs party at the FIT Show 2023, when I was holding onto the bottle of Prosecco saying keep an eye on MY prosecco,  Sarah (Ball) was behind me and she shouted “It’s not your Prosecco!”. I was absolutely mortified but luckily Sarah was only joking, great funny moment.

Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? Somewhere warm, PiGs can for sure pull a great beach party. Or Gdansk in Poland, as this is my native country and we can definitely throw a good drink or two.

Who should come to the next PiGs event (in one sentence)? Anyone who haven’t attended yet, we would love to see some new faces, everyone is always welcome and we need to attract new younger generation to join our industry.
