Star in the Sty: Simon Swift

By: George Lewis / 5 September 2025 /

As a small thank you for those who regularly support PiGs and our networking events, we make them our Star in the STY. This week’s Star is FENSA’s Simon Swift!

Name: Simon Swift

Company: FENSA

Been going to PiGs since: 2024

Favourite PiGs location: Manchester

Tipple of choice: Peroni

What’s the best thing about PiGs? Catching up with friends within the industry

What makes PiGs different from other industry events? I have found the events a relaxed and happy place for catching up with friends from the industry and making new contacts through networking.

Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? Phil Hallworth – a fellow Yorkshireman who I catch up with at each event

Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? The trip along the Thames for PiGs London

Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? Melbourne, Australia, not Derbyshire!

Who should come to the next PiGs event (in one sentence)? I think it would be great if Alex Ferguson came along to the next PIGs event in Manchester, as he has been part of a successful team in Manchester in the past and he could pass on some of his secrets to our industry which could help make it even more successful than it is already.
