What’s the best thing about PiGs? Interacting with many likeminded people from the industry, Meeting people who I have spoken to on the phone and then being able to put a face to the name. Especially enjoy how year on year the number of women in the industry is increasing.

What makes PiGs different from other industry events? It’s a more casual event, Although I have secured some great industry contacts, I have also made some great friends.

Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? Too many to mention, it is something I usually really look forward to as there are so many people to catch up with. I do love always having a little catch with Sarah from the GGF.

Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? The London PiGs in 2025 on the boat was a great one. Beer and a boat made for an interesting experience.

Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? Glasgow would be a great one.

Who should come to the next PiGs event (in one sentence)? Anyone who is new to the industry and would like to gain a world of experience, contacts, and friends.
