On reaching the 100 milestone for the free event, Barry said,

“I have to recognise Susan Pennington and Jackie Sanders who, with Sandra Page have put this event together. It’s fantastic to have so many IRVs and enthusiastic members of the professional jeweller community register for the event.

“I’m really looking forward to particularly welcoming new people to join in here, whether you’re interested in becoming a valuer or not, the door is open.”

Sponsored by TH March, the UK’s best-known firm of jewellery trade specialist insurance brokers, the virtual event is a mix of webinar presentations and less formal ‘skype style’ coffee breaks, similar in format to the NAJ Live bubbles.
