Yale sponsor Women in Fenestration Network Event

Yale Door and Window Solutions says it is proud to stand behind women in the fenestration industry this International Women’s Day as it sponsors the Women in Fenestration Network’s (WFN) first-ever Professional Development Day.

Taking place on 25 June 2026 in Bristol, the event has been organised by Sarah Ball, Founder of the WFN who has more than 20 years’ experience in the industry. She aims to create a space where women can be heard, supported and empowered, while enabling the industry as a whole to benefit from stronger collaboration and broader perspectives.

Alongside the formal sessions on the day, including headline speaker Sara Harling, author of Why Won’t You Let Me Speak, there will be valuable networking opportunities and a clear focus on supporting women’s progression.

Gemma Diratzonian, ASSA ABLOY’s Head of Brand & Fenestration Lead, Residential, commented: “I’m extremely proud to be a woman working in the fenestration industry and movements like International Women’s Day are critical to help challenge outdated perceptions and inspire the next generation of female talent.

“At Yale, we believe that women belong at every level across the industry and that’s why we’ve chosen to sponsor the inaugural WFN Professional Development. The women-only event looks set to be a standout date in the calendar this summer, bringing together industry professionals for a full day of insight, inspiration and connection.

“The event also coincides with PiGs Bristol event, which Yale are once again an annual sponsor of, so the networking will be able to continue into the evening.”
