Wow, where has this year gone?
With the start of 2025 on the horizon, we just wanted to let you know where you can find the #BPCommunity before the end of the year.
The next few months are jam packed with glazing industry events and we’d love to see you at one, or two (or more!) of them!
Here’s what’s filling up our diaries…

Always a great day of networking and horse racing, the Glass Times Race Day is a regular fixture on our calendars. The second one of this year is at the historic Epsom Downs in September. It’s followed by an after-party at Be At One in Epsom, organised by the wonderful Glass Times team in partnership with Nix Collective.
