Hospital bosses accused of only reacting to problems rather than being proactive
The owners of a well-known jewellers which has served Lincoln for over six decades will close the shop for the final time on Christmas Eve.
Four years later, the expanding business needed another change of premises and moved into its current location on St Mary’s Street in 1977.Eric retired in 1994, and on June 1 of that year Steve and his wife Maria bought the business, but decided that its name and philosophy would remain the same. It will be the end of an era for the couple, and long-serving employees Andy Sanderson and Caroline Workman who have worked for the business for 19 and 10 years respectively, and self-employed practical jeweller Tony Hurt who has given decades of service to the shop.
The shop is happy to continue fitting watch batteries, straps and bracelets, and carry out minor jewellery fixes that don’t require soldering.it was the right time to retire as “lockdown showed us another life” and the couple are ready to “just to live an ordinary life”.| Photo: Steve Smailes for The Lincolnite
“I am hugely proud and I think one of our proudest moments was when we had our 60th anniversary we were invited to the Guildhall for a dinner with the civic party, which was lovely, in recognition of our 60 years in the city.” “The experience that I’ve built up over 50 years is quite difficult to replicate for anyone else. Most people are good at retail or they’re good at repairs, but marrying the two things together is a difficult one.”
