A straightforward preview of two jewellery industry fairs scheduled to take place on the same weekend in Sydney in 2024 evolved into an expose of the liquidation of companies that owe $7 million to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), raising more questions than answers.

START AT THE BEGINNING: Founding directors and shareholders of Jewellery Industry Network, Angkham (Andy) Phanthapangna and Laura Moore.

UNUSUAL TIES: Laura Moore says: "As a board member, I am very proud to help shape the direction of this amazing organisation which strives to assist kids all over Australia."

Jewellery Industry Summit founder Laura Moore features her events company, ME Moore Events, on the Jewellery Industry Summit Instagram account, presenting ownership and promoting her work,

UNUSUAL MUSINGS: Ivan Vantagiato, a director of the now liquidated Diverso Resources - and connected to the now liquidated Grow Fit Fund - both Phanthapangna-owned companies - attended Moore’s Jewellery Industry Fair. He posted that he “had the pleasure to interview many exhibitors and attendees”.

Angkham Phanthapangna attends his Jewellery Industry Fair. In addition to seven liquidated companies, ASIC records show that a company owned by Phanthapangna and Laura Moore which owned Jewellery World was issued with a wind up notice by the Australian Taxation Office.

CHILDREN'S CHARITY COLLAPSE - Laura Moore’s LinkedIn post not only details her connection to the children’s charity, it also demonstrates the many ways in which her and Phanthapangna's business interests have been intertwined not only with each other, but also with the broader Australian jewellery i

CHILDREN'S CHARITY COLLAPSE - Laura Moore’s LinkedIn post not only details her connection to the children’s charity, it also demonstrates the many ways in which her and Phanthapangna's business interests have been intertwined not only with each other, but also with the broader Australian jewellery i

Grow Fit Fund, the collapsed children's charity is one of seven liquidated companies connected to Andy Phanthapangna who was a director, shareholder and board member. Glenn Fuller, Nunzio Giurastante and Laura Moore were also board members. The FY23 P&L shows that 89% of donations was paid to staff.

CONFLICTS: The Phanthapangna-owned Achievement Collective was placed into liquidation with liabilities of around $2.2 million, including $1.15 million to the ATO. The company was promoted by Jewellery Industry Fair View Full Promotional Flier

CONFUSION: Amanda Trotman directed ODMA members to the Industry Group Network (IGN) website (IGNet.com.au) but is appears to promote IGN Media or Innovate Network Group but the URL tab states: Industry Group Network.

JAA ENDORSEMENT - Jo Tory was president of the JAA and wrote: “The JAA along with event organiser, Moore Events, we are hosting a cocktail party to celebrate this worthy milestone. You simply need to register your attendance at the Jewellery Industry Summit.”

CHILDREN'S CHARITY COLLAPSE - Laura Moore’s LinkedIn post not only details her connection to the children’s charity, it also demonstrates the many ways in which her and Phanthapangna's business interests have been intertwined not only with each other, but also with the broader jewellery industry.

WRONG: Amanda Trotman’s LinkedIn profile states that she has been ODMA chief executive officer for nearly five years (February 2021 - Present), this seems inaccurate or at least exaggerated.

LONG GONE - the former JAA executive director, Amanda Trotman, provides a glowing endorsement of Moore and the Industry Group Network (IGN).

CONFUSED: Andy Phanthapangna from Apeirogon Technologies appeared as a speaker at the Jewellery Industry Summit; however, the company did not exist in 2021. It was only registered in August 2025, just ten days before the similarly named Apeirogon Pty Ltd was placed into liquidation.

From the article “Looking Forward to 2024”, a prominent “Looking After Industry Mental Health” heading appears beneath the event line-up.

Jewellery World promoted Ownn Shop, a JIN merchandise platform offering custom uniform storefronts, later deregistered by ASIC for unpaid fees, despite testimonial by ‘Karl Farrow’.

SURPRISE: Amanda Trotman endorsed Industry Group Network (IGN) and Laura Moore replied; however, ASIC records show Moore had resigned from the company two months before the announcement and it was acquired by Anmolpreet Singh.

CHANGE OF MIND - A section of the 2016 JAA Media Statement ‘signed’ by Laura Moore (nee Sawade), Selwyn Brandt and Amanda Trotman (nee Hunter) saying the JAA is facing a challenge from companies wishing to take over traditional JAA activities and which “strip funds from the industry”.
