A lively panel discussion will follow, led by Professor Marylyn Carrigan, formerly of the Centre for Business in Society (CBiS) at Coventry University, now Director of Research at Keele Management School. Marylyn will pose the question: What changes need to be made and what progress can the WJN and the industry make to improve equality in the sector?

Marylyn will be joined by Professional Jeweller editor Stacey Hailes, jewellery industry consultant Michael Donaldson and emerging jewellery talent and 2017 Kickstarter and GC&DC Award winner Farrah Al-Dujaili, alongside Stella Layton and Lucy Reece-Raybould.

Culminating in an audience Q&A, the evening will mark the first in a series of exciting WJN events for the Midlands, overseen by its UK Ambassador network.
