What’s the best thing about PiGs? Meeting up with industry friends in an informal social setting, we can have a drink and catch up.
What makes PiGs different from other industry events? It’s a relaxed event where everyone is made to feel welcome, even if you turn up on your own. Ideal for networking and creating business opportunities.
Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? I couldn’t name one particular person, I have so many great, long-term friends and love catching up with them all.
Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? My first ever PiGs! I was pleasantly surprised by what a great event it was and have been attending ever since.
Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? One of Scotland’s Whisky trials
Who should come to the next PiGs event (in one sentence)? Anybody from within the Door & Window sector who is looking to make new connections and catch up with existing industry friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
