Two PiGs in a Pod – Gareth Jones 2026

By: Rachael Lewis / 15 October 2026 /

In this episode of Two PiGs in a Pod, Solar Fabrications’ Gareth Jones returns to the podcast, joining us from the picturesque Chile (hence a poor quality video than normal).

Gareth talks to George about his latest adventure as part of the PiGs Machu PiGchu team, taking on the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu alongside a team of 13, made up almost entirely of people from across the glazing industry, to raise much needed funds for Harry’s Pals.

Having previously taken on the PiGs Kilimanjaro challenge in 2024, Gareth reflects on why he signed up for another major charity challenge, the physical and mental demands of trekking at altitude, and what it was like sharing the experience with his partner, Sandrine, and the rest of the team.

We also discuss the incredible camaraderie within the glazing industry, the importance of raising awareness as well as money for good causes, and Gareth’s personal connection with Harry’s Pals, where he serves on the board of trustees.

Plus, we catch up on the latest developments at Solar Fabrications, compare Kilimanjaro with the Inca Trail, look ahead to what’s next, and finish with our This or That – Industry Edition!
