BATF and NAJ announce date for 2024 AGMs

The British Allied Trades Federation (BATF) and the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) have announced they will host their respective AGMs on 6 June 2024.

The events will be held at the Tower of London and followed by a celebratory Benevolent Society dinner and private tour of the British Crown Jewels.

By the end of the day’s proceedings, a new BATF president and NAJ chair will be named and inducted into their roles.

Following the AGMs, Benevolent Society chair Gay Penfold will provide a short update on the charity’s activities and its recent beneficiaries.

Henrik Skouby, president of the BATF said: “I look forward to hosting the BATF AGM in June at the prestigious Tower of London. This will also provide the ideal platform to induct a new BATF president who will guide the Federation into the next chapter in its long history. As this is a milestone year for the Benevolent Society, I hope to see all our federated trade associations and their diverse array of members represented on the night.”

Heather Callaway, NAJ chair, said: “Our annual general meeting is an invaluable opportunity to engage with the NAJ and learn more about our initiatives and ongoing projects. I would encourage our members to attend and be part of this important yearly process. This is also the occasion when the new chair of the NAJ will be formally inducted into the role, making this an important occasion for me personally and for the Association.”
