The National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) has extended the submission deadline for this year’s NAJ awards, allowing even more members and the wider trade to showcase their successes in the last year.
Trade professionals have until the end of Monday 12 August to polish their entries and ensure they have the best chance of scooping an industry accolade.
Supported by headline sponsor Curteis, the NAJ Awards 2024 is an opportunity for the industry to spotlight inspiring stories, companies, and people – helping uncover excellence wherever it may be found.
“To ensure we find the best talent and stories in the trade, we are delighted to extend the submission window to give our members and the rest of the jewellery trade a chance to be recognised by their peers, the trade body, and the wider industry,” said Ben Massey, NAJ chief executive.
“The NAJ team and I are excited for what will be a fun evening at Birmingham’s Burlington Hotel in October.
“With a centrally-located venue and just a stone’s throw from New Street station, we hope members from across the country can join the celebrations.”
