"A fair share of humour, even in the most serious of subjects"

My credentials

I started out my career as a formally trained jeweller gaining The Retail Jewellers Diploma and subsequently went on to run & own my own jewellery business Elizabeth Grace for over 25 years.

I am an experienced Fine Art valuer and auctioneer having run a number of provincial salesrooms across Essex for nearly 20 years. I am also a member of a well renowned Titanic Historical Society, affectionately known as a 'Titanorak' and I have been used by a number of TV production companies as a 'go-to' expert. 

In 2008 I gained the City & Guilds PTTS 7303 course for teaching in the adult and further eduction sector. Since then I have had the pleasure of speaking at over 300 engagements. My aim with all my talks is to entertain, inform but not lecture my audience. 

I have spoken to a great variety of organisations including the U3A, The Women's Institutes, Probus, Historical societies, Luncheon & dining clubs to name but a few.

Below are my current talks for this year which I always strive to keep up to date and relevant.
