The BJA will be holding a half day seminar at its Vyse Street Offices on July 25^th to present the opinions and expertise of leading jewellery industry stalwarts on the subject of how to successfully grow a jewellery business. Several months ago, the BJA launched its now highly acclaimed mentoring project (www.bjamentoring.org.uk) which has seen the successful pairing of BJA mentors with mentees. Part of the seminar will contain a detailed explanation of the work carried out so far supported by a presentation from a mentoring pairing on the benefits of the project – both to the mentor and to the mentee. Additionally, the seminar will contain presentations on the areas of start up finance, brand creation, exhibitions, sales, marketing and trade press relationships. “I am extremely delighted that so many industry experts have offered to make presentations at the seminar” said Simon Rainer BJA CEO “It proves that there are many in our industry who wish to give something back by offering their time, advice and support to such a worthwhile project” he added Starting at 2.00pm, please book you place by going to info@bja.org.uk The full agenda for the seminar is: BJA Mentoring Project – Gordon Hamme Mentoring Case Study – Gary Wroe and Louise Mary Muttitt Marketing – Anne Marie Reeves Brand Creation – Judith Lockwood Trade Press Relationships – Rachael Taylor Exhibitions – Lindsey Straughton Sales – Gary Williams Start Up Funding – Gary Lennon and Jessica Rose
