Do you want to seize the future and grow your emerging jewellery or silversmithing business in the UK? Or have you been running your business for a while, and need support to gain traction? Our Diagnostic and Advice sessions are a first practical step to help you figure out where your business stands right now and what to do to take it to the next level.

Spend time with our high-profile industry panel as part of an online Diagnostic session and access invaluable business advice and understand your growth potential. Receive a recording of the session, to help you identify your next steps and ensure you don’t waste precious time or resources before making critical decisions for your business.

Use your time with the expert panel to explore any area of your business or practice. For example, this is your chance to:

• understand your business’ strengths and weaknesses and discover opportunities.
• develop priorities and an action plan for your business.
• get your jewellery products or creative ideas reviewed.
• get an insight into how to make your jewellery brand stand out.
• determine your training or coaching needs.

“I was nervous at first to attend the Business Diagnostic Session, but it was incredibly helpful. The panel discussed my goals, offering positive and enthusiastic critique to guide my business. This cemented my confidence and highlighted key improvements. I highly recommend these valuable sessions. Huge thanks to the Goldsmiths’ Centre and the wonderful panel for their time and advice!”
