Dovercourt jewellery shop reopens with long-term staff remaining

Boreham Christopher jewellers opened in Dovercourt High Street in 1989, operating from a shop on the corner of Hill Road and the High Street.

Due to retirement, the site is now managed by H&T Pawnbrokers and the shop has also re-opened as H&T.

Store manager Sharon Woolley, 54, has worked there for 35 years alongside deputy manager Stacey King, 51, who has worked there for 22 years.

Sharon said: " We want to reassure our customers that all of the team from Boreham Christopher have moved over with H&T so when you visit you will receive the same warm and friendly service from the familiar faces you are used to.

“We have built up so many relationships with our loyal customers over the years."

Makeover - The front of the store has also been transformed (Image: Submitted) Sharon said they now have expanded to offer a range of financial services, including pawnbroking, gold buying, cheque cashing, travel money and Western Union.

Stacey added: "We still change watch batteries and watch straps while you wait and will also do many more bench style jobs.

“We still offer our jewellery repair service and continue to use our same trusted and valued repair man Nick.

"It is important that our customers don’t have to travel out to larger towns for services like this so we are happy that we can still offer this to Dovercourt".

Regulated - The H&T are fully regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Image: Submitted) The store is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10am to 4pm, 9am to 3pm on Saturday, and closed on Wednesday and Sunday.
