Clayton Glass Director Ryan Green is the latest person from the glazing community to sit in the Two PiGs in a Pod hot seat.

Ryan explains how he acquired Clayton Glass nearly 20 years ago at the age of 28, despite being an accountant by trade, first impressions of the sector, and how the company and the wider glazing community has a 'family-like' feel to it.

Ryan also discusses what the future may hold for not only Clayton Glass but the wider glazing sector as well, including signing up for FIT Show 2025 on the day of the interview!

Plus, in our quick fire question round, Ryan lets us know his meal of choice, go-to holiday destination, and how he thinks the industry will look in a year's time.

In the first episode of the new season, George speaks to Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) Technical Officer and Training Manager, John Mannell.

John discusses his unique journey into the sector, entering via the route of stained glass, despite having a grandfather owning a fabricating business since the 1950s.

John explains how he originally used the GGF for guidance, before becoming Technical Officer over three years ago to provide that guidance to members.

He also discusses recently taking on the role as Training Manager, helping to develop the routes into glazing, via schemes such as Skilled Pathways and GGF Training, and working with companies like Building Our Skills.

Plus, John takes part in our quick fire question round, answering his go-to karaoke song, favourite TV programme, and plans in his role for 2025.

In this episode, usual host George is in the guest hotseat, with Sty Master Sarah Ball taking over hosting duties and asking the questions.

George discusses his route into the glazing sector and his career so far, what he would tell his younger self and how the industry looks from his perspective.

George also talks professionalisation, transferable skills and ‘selling the industry’ to potential newcomers.

He also describes his highlights of his first year at PiGs, the importance of networking events for our sector, and dream podcast guests and locations.

And in our quick fire question round, George has to answer all the questions he has asked throughout the year with no time to prepare, including last thing he Googled, heroes and go-to karaoke song.
