Testimonial
Helen Gourley, Independent Consultant - Miglio Designer Jewellery
In January 2008 I was on maternity leave from my job at a high street bank. I was feeling unsure about returning to work and was suffering from post-natal depression.
I wanted a new focus to help me to improve my confidence and decided to find a jewellery organisation to work with as I had previously been involved in the industry and I have always loved jewellery. I researched organisations online and looked at a few of the collections, but the range offered by Miglio by far outshone the rest.
The quality, design and craftmanship was evident from the first necklace I picked up. I was also excited by the infinate options to change the jewellery and the overall versatility of the concept. I signed up straight away and held my first party with £250 worth of jewellery around a coffee table in my lounge.
I have never looked back and in January 2009 I decided to leave my job with the bank so that I can focus on my Miglio business full-time. I love how easy it can be to sell the jewellery and the flexibility of the job that allows me to be mum and still be there for my kids for important occasions, like my sons first sports day at School.
I've also found that I can still work even when my children have been sick, and I'm no longer worried about concerns for an employer or for work colleagues if I have to take time off (those of us who have been through kids with chicken pox should be able to relate to this). I've been steadily growing the business and am facing new challenges as I continue to recruit new consultants and sell to new and existing customers.
My customers are fantastic and love coming back to me to see what the new ranges have to offer as the catalogues change. My overall satisfaction with my career has improved and I am planning to be a part of the Miglio team for a long time to come. I know that the more I put into the more I can get out of it and will be using some of my earnings for a holiday to Florida with the family next year.

adaptable collection of bracelets, earrings and necklaces with
enhancers and pendants. Miglio also operates under a fair trade
policy and actively supports The Homestead, a remarkable charity
based in South Africa that works with street children.
What
does your company offer?

little extra money each month then the Miglio business opportunity
will suit. Every
consultant can be proactive and imaginative in selling the jewellery,
which gives you total control over your business.
What

Without making false promises the sky is the limit – it could

much effort you are prepared to put in.
Does

No, you receive £250 of jewellery of your choice with your
initial investment and it is up to you to decide your own stock
holding. Head Office hold a high level of stock and generally have
delivery to you within 24 – 48 hours of an order. You can also
borrow stock from your sponsor to allow you to show a larger
selection of the jewellery and of course the full collection is
shown in the catalogues.

No,
in fact as the catalogue shows prices in Euro’s you can also
