The Guild of British Jewellery Designers ‘GoJD’ is a collaboration of British jewellery designers and artisans offering support and networking opportunities within its membership base as a non-profit making organisation.
Jewellers are able to subscribe to the guild initially on a free of charge basis and can upgrade at any time to take advantage of its partner discounts and insurance opportunities.
The British Craft Trade Fair (BCTF) has recently signed up as supply partner to the guild and members can now take a 10% discount from stand rates offered by BCTF and this means savings upwards from £56+ VAT for a stand at the 2018 fair ((8th – 10th April)
Margeret Bunn, CEO of the fair said: ‘We are really pleased to be working with GoJD and feel very positive that the relationship will benefit subscribers as well as the GoJD. Existing members of the organisation, I am sure will be interested in exhibiting with us, we are always looking for new emerging talent wanting to supply trade buyers within the jewellery and Home and Gift market.’
