The Goldsmiths’ Centre in Clerkenwell, London has just celebrated its fifth birthday.
The Centre celebrated the milestone at an event with over 200 friends, alumni and partner organisations. Its new ‘Impact Report’ was also launched at the event and animated film, which displayed the company’s achievements and future plans.
The Goldsmiths’ Centre, a charity set up by the Goldsmiths’ Company, helps jewellers, silversmiths and craftspeople to further their careers. The centre also has a workshop where craftspeople can work from.
Its Foundation Programme has helped 44 young people build on their skills where 36 of them went on to be Goldsmiths’ Company Apprentices.
Sir David Reddaway, chief executive and clerk of the Goldsmiths’ Company, said: “The Goldsmiths’ Centre is the jewel in the crown of today’s Goldsmiths’ Company.
“It ensures that our 700-year-old connection to the trade, craft and industry is vibrant and relevant.”
Peter Taylor, director of Goldsmiths’ Centre, added: “Five years marks a key milestone for the Goldsmiths’ Centre. Our aim is to build on our charity’s success, growing, promoting and supporting innovation. We hope to protect the future of this exceptional industry.”
