GLAZINGSUMMIT MAKE SURE YOU’RE THERE Chris Alderson, Managing Director of Edgetech, the world’s leading warm-edge spacer manufacturer, said: “I’m hoping the Glazing Summit raises the profile of the insulating glass sector, which is sometimes forgotten about within our industry. “Our customers have made significant investment and do face lots of needs and challenges going forward, so I would like to raise their profile at this year’s event.” For Howard Trotter, Business Manager at leading window and door manufacturers Shelforce, the skills shortage is something he’s hoping is once again on the agenda. “The labour issues and skills shortage is something that we’re all facing; there are answers out there, but we all need to know collectively what those answers are.” Keep an eye on www.glazingsummit.co.uk for all updates and announcements on the agenda as and when they happen. THE LEADERS DINNER The Edgbaston Banqueting Suite will play host to the Glazing Summit Leaders Dinner. It will bring together 250 of the industry’s most influential business owners, directors and managers for an exclusive evening of fine dining, great conversation and networking. There will be no awards or presentations, no black tie, just an evening with the industry’s most influential and visionary leaders, with the evening rounding off with an after-dinner speaker. Delegates are welcome to attend the Glazing Summit, the Leaders Dinner or both. To book your place at the Leaders Dinner call 01934 808293 or visit www.glazingsummit.co.uk. Some of the biggest names in the industry have partnered with this year’s event, alongside the GGF and Yale.

Event partners also confirmed alongside Edgetech, Window Ware and Shelforce include FENSA, the BFRC, CAB, The Residence Collection (Window Widgets), Improveasy, Hodgson Sealants and TWR Group. Andrew added: “It’s clear from the calibre of names we have signed up already that the Glazing Summit is something that the industry wants – so make sure you’re there for what promises to be an event not to be missed.” There are still limited sponsorship opportunities available to get your brand in the room with hundreds of business owners, industry leaders, key influencers and decision makers.
