Momentum is building for this autumn’s Glazing Summit, as organisers report that some of the industry’s biggest names are on board for the one-day fenestration conference. This year’s Glazing Summit will take place on Tuesday 18 October at Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham. Despite the event being 10 months away, sponsors are reportedly queuing up to get involved.
Lock experts Yale have confirmed as headline sponsors for the event. Others brands on board include MACO, Exlabesa, Unique Window Systems, Glazpart, Carl F Groupco, Shelforce, Caribbean Blinds, Business Pilot and Chase Taylor Recruitment. Paul Atkinson, sales and commercial director of Yale Door and Window Solutions, explained why the company signed up as soon as last year’s event closed – and why Yale has supported the event since its inception in 2018. He said: “The Glazing Summit 2021 was a really valuable experience and it’s the only industry event where it’s not just about selling products.
“It’s about the industry getting together, promoting best practice, and learning what the challenges are in different areas of the supply chain. It brings together prominent people with plenty of influence in the industry, so it’s a major event for Yale to be represented at and a good event to attend. It’s now a fundamental part of the industry.”
Andrew Scott, the Glazing Summit’s founder, added: “There was a buzz at last year’s Glazing Summit, as live events returned for the first time since the pandemic. This year we are planning to make it bigger and better.
“The support we have had since we launched the Glazing Summit into the industry has been incredible, and we are already being inundated with enquiries to get involved. The Glazing Summit will confront the big topics head-on once again this year. If last year’s event was anything to go by, 2022 will sell out fast.” To connect your brand with the elite of the industry at this year’s Glazing Summit, visit glazingsummit.co.uk, call 01934 808 293 or email hello@glazingsummit.co.uk.
