MICHAEL makes his point

摘要

In the wise words of John F. Kennedy: "Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." Well, we too have reached that point where we need to consider our own future. Your board of directors has tabled a resolution to be voted upon at the forthcoming AGM that, if approved, will give the go-ahead for the unification of the British Jewellers' Association with the NAG. Our vision is to create a new organisation that can lead and support the UK jewellery industry to become stronger and more vibrant, inspiring consumers to own your creations and products and put their trust in our members' professionalism. I firmly believe that the National Association of Jewellers can be the voice of the industry, speaking with confidence and authority to consumers, government and other stakeholders to advance the views and needs of the industry. And the NAJ can, with your support, build and reinvigorate consumer confidence to buy jewellery and to see owning it, wearing it or gifting it as a precious and timeless token of love, joy and happiness. You can read more on why your board thinks this move is the right way forward, and what the new organisation intends to do on your behalf, on page 14. If you have already made up your mind why not act now and vote by proxy? You can of course also attend the AGM on 16th June and vote there in person.
