PIGS trot north again
21st March 2017

People in Glazing Society (PIGS) saw another successful event at the Castlefield Rooms in Manchester earlier this month at the orgnisation’s first 2017 event.

PIGS organiser and Client Strategy Director at Balls2 Marketing, Sarah Ball said: “I’m properly chuffed with the turn-out in Manchester this year. It’s always one of our most popular PIGS events but I think this has been our best-attended yet. We’ve almost hit the 200 attendees mark and it’s great to see faces old and new enjoying a drink and a good chat.

“PIGS doesn’t make a profit – it’s all about getting people in glazing together for a good time. As ever, we have our fantastic industry sponsors to thank for making PIGS happen.
