FOREL was founded in 1976 by two brothers to cater for the demands of the fast-growing glass machinery business in Italy, and has grown to become one of the largest family-owned glass machinery manufacturers in the world.
Our UK and Ireland branch was opened three years ago to ensure the business could offer not just the machinery but unrivalled service and support for our UK and Irish customers.

FOREL is known worldwide for innovation and has won numerous international awards, including the 2025 G Award for machinery innovation for our solution to thin triple sealed units, a technology which we will be showing at the Glazing Summit that finally gives a solution to the issue of improving U-values without increasing the weight.

Harry’s Pals is a charity dedicated to addressing a critical and often invisible gap in support for parent carers across the country. Founded in 2022 by Hayley Charlesworth, whose son Harry has profound and complex needs, the charity was born from lived experience and a deep understanding of the emotional toll placed on families—and the devastating consequences when parents are not cared for.

When parents receive the life-shattering news that their child has a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, many are plunged into overwhelming fear, grief, and isolation. Without support, families can reach breaking point. Parents describe feeling abandoned, hopeless, and, in some cases, suicidal. Harry’s Pals exists to intervene before families reach that crisis. Through vital emotional support—including bespoke counselling and therapy, peer support networks, and restorative short breaks—we help prevent family breakdown and reduce the risk of catastrophic outcomes. Our work ensures families are seen, supported, and are able to find coping mechanisms for the road ahead.
