FAQs:
For emerging businesses, it is easier to spark ideas, reflect, solve problems and build confidence by speaking to others about their plans. This programme brings together:
- Our mentees: Our Business Mentoring Programme is open (via email invite) to emerging UK based businesses that have completed a Business Diagnostic and Advice session for Jewellers and Silversmiths in the past 12 months.
- Our mentors: Many of our mentors are members of the Goldsmiths’ Company, a membership organisation in existence for almost 700 years. Our mentors are either highly engaged with the industry or work directly in it as practising craftspeople, and designers or in support functions across retail, auction houses, the arts, marketing and education.
We do not record or broadcast our events to foster open and honest discussions. We can, however, share the PowerPoint presentation shown during this talk and if there is high demand, we will consider running this session again.

We are committed to making our training programmes and events as inclusive and accessible as possible.
