Dawn Meaden-Johnson I'm a Jewellery industry training consultant with over 25
years specific industry experience and I'm the Director of The Bespoke Jewellery
Training Company. My priority is to guide clients who are individuals or
companies to the perfect training solution, and develop new professional
standard courses that are reactive and relevant to jewellery industry demand.
Dawn Meaden-Johnson _Founder and Directo With the Bespoke Jewellery Training
Company I have created a unique business model that provides anyone with access
to professional jewellery industry standard training outside of Further
Education. I'm a graduate Silversmith of the prestigious School of Jewellery in
Birmingham and I have a wide variety of experience over my career in different
industry roles. After graduating I began a 10 year stint of experience working
at Jewellery Retail sector giants Signet Group, initially working in jewellery
sales and customer service, then moving into branch operations, export,
marketing and merchandising via their HQ in Birmingham. From 2004-2014 I was
back at the School of Jewellery Birmingham City University (BCU) as short
courses/external training project manager, working with UK and International
clients. For the past five years Dawn has been supporting Graduates and Designer
Makers via Jewellery Business Mentoring. In 2017 The Bespoke Jewellery Training
Company became an a graduate award sponsor at The School of Jewellery at
Birmingham City University (BCU), where upon graduation two graduates per year
are selected to receive a 9 month Graduate Jewellery Business Mentoring
programme each, delivered by me. In 2022 I became a member of The Guild of
Jewellery Designers, Ethical Good Practises Forum. We are working on a subject
area of huge importance, and our forum is made up of industry volunteers with a
wide range of experience, and our aim is to research, raise awareness and
provide guidance to help Jewellers make informed choices for ethical good
practise. Today my office at The Bespoke Jewellery Training Company is located
near Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter and our courses take place in many tutor
studios all around the UK and online.
