Organisers of the People in Glazing Society (Pigs) are preparing to bring the party to this year’s Fit Show exhibition – a dedicated three-day event for the window, door, hardware and flat glass industry. The Fit Show, which is set to take place at Birmingham’s NEC for its 10-year anniversary this year, is scheduled to open from 10am on Tuesday 23 May, and continue until 4pm on Thursday 25 May 2023.
The Pigs team has organised a networking event on the evening of Wednesday 24 May, which is when the Fit Show closes late (at 8pm). Anyone who works in the supply chain of the glazing industry is welcome to attend ‘the Pigs Party’, on the Pigs Pavilion stand, Q71. The event is organised by staff of Balls2 Marketing. Live entertainment is to be provided by Ellie Jones and the Giants, as a backdrop for hours of networking.
Nickie West, the Fit Show’s event director, said: “The Pigs event at Fit Show 2022 was fantastic. It was the perfect place to bring the industry back together after our three-year hiatus. I am delighted that the party will return for our extra special 10-year celebration this May.
“We’re also throwing our support behind the full Pigs calendar of events, which have firmly cemented themselves as key fixtures in the fenestration calendar. Much like Pigs, Fit Show is about the people in the industry. This partnership reinforces the importance we place on this.”
Sarah Ball, Balls2 Marketing’s joint MD, added: “We’re excited to be working alongside Fit Show and our industry friends to deliver an extra special Pigs Party at Fit Show 2023. We’re also pleased to announce that Fit Show will be supporting the full Pigs calendar of events in 2023, which continues to garner support from every corner of the industry.”

Current sponsors include Fit Show exhibitors Glazerite, Morley Glass, Selecta Systems, Business Pilot, Supalite Tiled Roof Systems, Glazpart and Quickslide.
