Allyson Thomas, Managing Director, T A Durant
Allyson has worked in most aspects of the jewellery trade over the last 23 years and has spent the past 11 of those working at T A Durant, the diamond ring manufacturer in Bidford on Avon. The first 7 years of her career were spent at H Samuel in store management and jewellery buying, followed by a spell of selling to the major groups for a gold jewellery manufacturer. Allyson has additional experience in training and customer service roles and is also FGA and DGA qualified.
T A Durant is a regular exhibitor at UK trade shows and during her spell as Emagold President, Allyson created a combined Emagold Pavilion for the group members to present their companies and collections to the visiting buyers.
