What’s the best thing about PiGs? It’s always a great chance to catch up with friends, colleagues, customers and suppliers.

What makes PiGs different from other industry events? The venues are always brilliant, the evenings are great fun with the right amount of shop talk, food and music.

Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? Obviously, Sarah Ball! And the good people of the glass industry.

Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? Attending the first PiGs Bristol and seeing it grow year on year.

Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? Ibiza for a bit of sun and fun, but as mentioned previously Glasstec in Dusseldorf would be a good place for a real PiGs event.
