10 Mar 2022

The National Association of Jewellers has warmly welcomed Ahmed Mohammed and Mojtaba Noori into the NAJ team as part of the government-funded Kickstart scheme.

Ahmed Mohammed (left) and Mojtaba Noori (right) have joined the team as part of the UK’s plan to help people aged between 16-24 to get back into work. The Kickstart scheme was designed to help boost the UK’s economy as part of the government’s promise to get 250,000 young people to build new transferable skills that they can utilise in their careers.
