Press Release: The London Diamond Bourse (LDB) is delighted to announce it signed a deal with the Retail Jeweller to sponsor the Inspiring Independents Awards on October 22 in London.

The 50-strong list, considered to be the best of independent jewelers, was first launched in 2010 and continues to champion those stores that do everything to the highest level possible. LDB considers these values to be a perfect marriage with its  new membership categories.

The event marks  the beginning of the LDB's celebration of its 75th anniversary and is the first time the organization sponsored an industry event. LDB will focus its efforts, in the forthcoming year, on bringing more members into the fold, with an advertising campaign tagline "Give your customer  and suppliers confidence that you operate your business to the highest of standard and best business practice."

The sponsorship of Retail Jeweller's Inspiring Independents follows LDB's successful debut at International Jewellery London (IJL) and the launch of its diamond platform, which dovetails with recent additions to the membership offering. Harry Levy, the president  of LDB, said, “We are delighted, and it gives me great pleasure, to announce our sponsorship of this event. We believe sponsorships like this will help us reach new audiences and continue to help us grow. Couple this with our new diamond trading platform and we are growing our membership at the fastest rate for a decade.”

Victoria McKay, the chief  operation officer at LDB, said, “The Inspiring Independent event is a great start to our brand sponsorship portfolio. It’s a great fit. We are constantly taking  memberships inquiries  from the trade and have been amazed by the interest we’ve had since IJL from those who wish to prove their standing to their suppliers and customers.”

Ruth Faulkner, the editor of Retail Jeweller, added, “Retail Jeweller is delighted to welcome the London Diamond Bourse on board as a sponsor for our inaugural Inspiring Independents event. We feel extremely honored that this prestigious trade organization has selected Inspiring Independents as its first sponsored trade event and I hope that it provides a great platform for LDB to reach new target members. I hope this is the start of an ongoing working relationship with LDB and I am very much looking forward to the event in October.”

Tickets for the event are on an invitation-only basis, with a supplement released by Retail Jeweller once it is finalized.
