“Those attending will discover how the industry is evolving following a string of mergers and acquisitions, and get the inside track on why some of the established ‘big players’ in the industry could disappear in the years ahead.

The Glazing Summit is a morning conference followed by a buffet lunch and networking with industry leaders. It will take place at St Johns Hotel and Conference Centre, Solihull, from 9a.m. on Tuesday May 22.

Andrew Scott, Managing Director of Insight Data said: “Our industry is worth over £4 billion, has over 15,000 businesses and employs tens of thousands of people. After Insight Data published the latest Window Industry Report, we were swamped with industry leaders wanting answers to some big questions. The Glazing Summit aims to answer those questions - and many more besides.”
