Temple QMS celebrates Birmingham’s prestigious ‘World Craft City’ status.
Here at Temple QMS, we’re absolutely thrilled to celebrate the incredible news that Birmingham has been awarded the coveted ‘World Craft City’ status by the World Crafts Council!
This prestigious global accolade recognises the city’s rich heritage in the jewellery and craft trade, a heritage we’re proud to be at the heart of, with our offices based right in the vibrant Jewellery Quarter.
Birmingham’s Craft Legacy: A Global Stage
Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter has long been synonymous with masterful craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation. This new recognition places Birmingham alongside just a handful of distinguished European cities, including Bornholm in Denmark and Stoke-on-Trent, cementing its position on the global stage as a hub for exquisite craft and design.
The accolade honours not only the economic impact but also the deep social and cultural contributions of the local community. From Birmingham City University’s School of Jewellery to the historic Assay Office and Coffin Works, the city’s commitment to preserving and evolving its craft traditions is nothing short of inspiring.
Quality at the Core: Why This Matters to Temple QMS
At Temple QMS, we understand that world-class craftmanship doesn’t happen by accident, it’s rooted in quality, precision, and continual improvement. That’s why we’re passionate about providing bespoke training and consultancy services designed to help businesses across industries embed robust quality management systems.
Just as Birmingham’s artisans uphold the highest standards to create timeless pieces, organisations need strong frameworks to consistently deliver excellence and foster innovation. Achieving and maintaining quality is essential — not only to meet customer expectations but also to drive growth and sustainability in an ever-changing global marketplace.
Crafting a Future Together
Birmingham’s World Craft City status is more than a badge of honour — it’s a beacon of opportunity. The upcoming Birmingham Jewellery Biennial festival, featuring open studios, fairs, heritage tours, and trade conferences, promises to shine a spotlight on both established masters and emerging talent.
This vibrant creative ecosystem mirrors what Temple QMS champions every day: the power of knowledge exchange, collaboration, and continuous development to unlock potential.
