BAJ - Holts Academy Rebrand

Under new leadership, Holts Academy has experienced huge strategic change over the past year. Whilst retaining traditional values and dedication to teaching excellence, the company has evolved as an education provider.

The company now seeks to champion British jewellery education and has a renewed commitment to protecting the future of the British jewellery industry.

To reflect this change and its modern identity, as of the 25th January, Holts Academy will be known as the British Academy of Jewellery (BAJ).
