I have a fantastic team working with me on both Jewellery & Watch London and Birmingham and this award is also testament to them and the fantastic shows we have built.”

Julie headed-up the team which launched Jewellery & Watch London back in 2012 and under her leadership the show went on to see a 11% rise in visitor numbers in its second year and this year is relocating to a new venue of London’s iconic Saatchi Gallery in order to accommodate this growth.
