» » TAKING PLACE ON
Thursday, September 12
at Edgbaston Stadium
and Conference Centre,
Birmingham, more than 400
fabricators, installers and
suppliers are expected to attend
the one-day conference.
Organisers Insight Data and
Purplex Marketing have put
together an exciting agenda that
will provide a mixture of debates
and discussions on the biggest
topics facing the industry and
keynote speakers on how to get
the most out of your business.
Andrew Scott, the founder of
the Glazing Summit and CEO
of glazing industry specialists
Insight Data and Purplex
Marketing, commented: “The
Glazing Summit has really been
gathering momentum and with
the announcement of what we’re
going to be discussing, we’re
expecting things to hot up even
more.”
The morning kicks off with the
Insight Data ‘Window Industry
Report’ before respected industry
leaders take to the stage to talk
about sustainability, recycling
and how the industry is tackling
the anti-plastic movement.
With the aftermath of
Grenfell still in the minds of
the industry, and legislation and
new regulations driving change,
experts will then discuss what it
means for fabricators, installers
and the glass industry.
Next, and with Brexit looming
and the government warning
companies to brace themselves, a
keynote speaker will consider the
implications for the fenestration
industry to help navigate the
Brexit crisis.
Our panel of industry leaders
will then debate some of the
biggest questions of the moment,
including how to tackle the skills
shortage? How we reverse the
‘race to the bottom’ on price?
And how do we tackle Rogue
Traders that are damaging the
industry?
Leading business speaker
Adrian Webster then takes to
the stage to share his secrets on
building a world-class business.
After lunch, the afternoon
kicks off with the industry’s
marketing specialists Purplex
revealing the marketing secrets to
drive growth and profitability.
With the industry is facing
its biggest ever shake-up with a
flood of mergers, acquisitions and
consolidation, a panel of industry
experts will then discuss how
companies can sell their business
for maximum value or use
acquisitions as a way of achieving
significant growth and economies
of scale.
The day concludes with a
debate on the future of the glass
and glazing market and what the
industry will look like in three
years’ time as smart technology
takes hold.
