WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Feedback
The mentoring I have received from Dawn has been fantastic!
​She really understands the ups and downs of running a jewellery business and what it takes to make yours a success.
Dawn's wealth of knowledge in both the jewellery and jewellery training industries is so rare to find in a business mentor.
It is the combination of practical jewellery skills, contacts within the industry, business expertise along with her lovely manner and friendly approach that make Dawn an ideal choice for anyone looking for a mentor for their jewellery business.
