Members of the CAB community from across the UK recently descended on the Donnington & Co hotel, spa, and golf club in the Berkshire countryside for a day of relaxed networking, fun and healthy competition at CABfest.
Following the same successful format as last year’s inaugural event, CABfest 2026 comprised a golf tournament followed by a festival-style gathering for members and guests, complete with live music, street food and a DJ.
Bringing together colleagues from across the aluminium in building sector, CABfest provided an informal opportunity for members to connect, catch up with industry peers, and strengthen relationships across the aluminium supply chain.
Nigel Headford, CAB CEO, said: “CABfest is designed to be informal and relaxed, unlike some traditional corporate functions. Above all, our aim is to create a shared social experience because that is how we believe good connections are often made and maintained.
“People are at the heart of what we do, and although we all take our day jobs and responsibilities very seriously, CABfest provides a well-earned chance to kick back, relax and let our hair down among industry friends and colleagues.”
Jessica Dean, membership and events director at CAB, said: “It was wonderful to spend a day in the sun, relaxing and networking with our members, whose support we truly value.”
