Caroline Jackman
As a freelance business consultant, coach and trainer for the creative industries, I have over 20 years’ working with national charities, government agencies, galleries and practitioners in the UK and overseas.
I am a specialist in the craft sector and has a particular focus on designing learning frameworks for business training, most recently with World Crafts Council Europe. I am a business consultant for the Collect Art Fair presented at Somerset House in London and an expert in exporting, producing International Toolkit and Temporay Export Guides for the Crafts Council and Ceramics Art London championing the growth of the market for craft on the Creative Industries Trade and Investment Board.
My exporting experience led me on trade missions to Paris and Creative Europe funded projects including Crafting Europe trade schemes and business training programmes.
Thanks so much for all your fantastic support. You really are a champion for us individually representing makers.
