This month the Sheffield Assay Master, Ashley Carson, was delighted to make the following announcements regarding the new Hallmarking Department structure and long service congratulations:
"After recent staff changes we have taken the decision to appoint joint Heads of Production within the Hallmarking Department.
I'm delighted to announce that Amy Guest and Jordan Carson will now share overall responsibility for the day to day running of our Hallmarking provision with support from Andy Thorpe as Receipt and Despatch Supervisor, and Ryan Sprague as Customer Service Supervisor.
Colette Bishop, a qualified Silversmith, successful designer and a valued member of our Hallmarking team has now been promoted from Laser Hallmarker to the role of Specialist Bespoke Marking Advisor. Colette has a special eye for perfection and her appointment into this role will mean that other designers / jewellers and silversmiths will be able to talk to her about any special designs and how best to apply a hallmark into their work.
