Following last year’s record-breaking event, the NAJ Awards are back to help champion even more Great Ideas, Great People and Great Businesses.15 categories honour the collective accomplishments of companies and the dedication and creativity of individuals who drive these businesses forward.
We are back at the International Convention Centre in central Birmingham. The ICC is convenient for attendees from both the south and north of the UK. Whether you are driving or taking the train, the venue is easily accessible, making it suitable for those staying overnight as well as those who need to return home the same day.
The NAJ Awards aren’t just about winning trophies! It’s a great opportunity to bring the NAJ community and wider trade together to celebrate the breadth of talent in the UK jewellery industry.
The Award’s three pillars of Great Ideas, Great People and Great Businesses are supported by three of the trade’s major charities: The Benevolent Society, NAJ Educational Trust and the Silversmiths & Jewellers Charity, meaning vital funds are raised on the night to ensure all three charities can continue their important work.
