Have you heard about The Glazing Summit? Taking place on May 22nd at St. John’s Exhibition Centre in Solihull, The Glazing Summit will bring together directors, founders and senior management from the industry’s biggest and best system houses, fabricators, installers and suppliers. The event features a full day of talks and debates on the hot topics of the industry, as well as an exclusive Leaders Dinner in the evening.

The Glazing Summit has announced revolutionary aluminium lantern brand Korniche as the newest sponsor of this year’s landmark event (click on their adverts in this mailer, to find out more about this fantastic product).

Launched at The FIT Show 2016, Korniche quickly rose to prominence through its innovative construction, providing installers with a highly-durable lantern solution that is faster and easier to install. Designed and developed by Managing Director Bradley Gaunt and his brother Ashley, Korniche joins a number of leading brands from across the industry in supporting the event.
