What happens at a JBN meeting?

JBN meetings provide a friendly and collaborative environment to discuss the important issues and opportunities jewellery retailers face. Agendas are prepared by an independent facilitator based on the members' requirements.

Meetings open with a brief update from each member - from top-line sales and high street status to what is working and what is not. Plenty of time is available to allow valuable discussion and comments from attending members. As well as refreshments, lunch provides an excellent opportunity for members to go 'off agenda' and invest in old and new friendships.

The afternoon sessions provide time to discuss the latest member surveys, proving a valuable source of reliable and relevant information. There’s also time given to members’ CPD (Continuous Professional Development) in the form of a mini-masterclass. Recent topics have included: leadership, having difficult conversations and range management.
