NAJ Team of the Year 2025 Award
As part of her professional practice, Ilona also works in collaboration with Jewellery Advisory Services (JAS) — a nationally recognised valuation and consultancy firm known for its integrity, precision, and dedication to excellence.
In 2025, JAS was honoured with the National Association of Jewellers’ Team of the Year Award, acknowledging their outstanding professionalism and contribution to the UK jewellery industry. As a Consultant Valuer within the team, Ilona contributes her expertise to specialist research, complex valuation cases, and expert witness work — further enhancing the quality and depth of service offered through IAS Valuations & Consulting.

What Is the NAJ “Team of the Year” Award?
The National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) is the leading trade organisation for jewellery professionals in the UK. Its annual NAJ Awards celebrate excellence across multiple categories, including Great Ideas, Great People, and Great Businesses.
In 2025, Jewellery Advisory Services earned the Team of the Year title (sponsored by TH March) in recognition of “extraordinary expertise and collaboration and a rigorous approach to teamwork.” This accolade validates their role as a benchmark in valuation standards and ethics — a distinction few firms achieve.
Winning this award underscores JAS’s leadership in valuation, advisory services, and expert witness reporting. It also means that clients working with JAS—and by extension through Ilona’s consultancy—benefit from their award-winning methodology, teamwork, and industry reputation.
How This Collaboration Benefits You (Clients in the Midlands and Beyond)
- Access to the highest standards: As a consultant for JAS, Ilona brings the same rigorous practices and teamwork that helped JAS win the NAJ award directly to IAS Valuations & Consulting clients.
- Depth and breadth of expertise: From standard insurance or probate valuations to complex, contested cases requiring expert witness reports, the association with JAS ensures your valuation enjoys an extra layer of oversight, research support, and legal credibility.
- Local service with national backing: Whether you are in Warwickshire, Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa, Solihull, Banbury, or the Cotswolds, you receive the confidence of a local valuer backed by industry-leading standards and national-level appraisal resources.
- Transparency & integrity: The accolade reaffirms JAS’s commitment to professionalism, and when you work with Ilona, that same commitment is carried through to your valuation — from clear reporting to ethical practices.

Why It Matters to You
Valuations are more than numbers — they affect your insurance, estate planning, legal proceedings, and peace of mind. Choosing a valuer aligned with an award-winning team brings:
- Confidence that your valuation is defensible, reliable, and held to the highest standard
- Reassurance when dealing with solicitors, insurers, or courts
- Value because your results reflect up-to-date market insight and quality control
- Local convenience with the credentials and backing of national expertise
