A LICHFIELD jeweller has marked 40 years in business with a special weekend of celebrations.
Allen Brown Jewellery welcomed customers, suppliers and friends for the gathering at the Heart of the Country Shopping Village.
A live string quartet provided the soundtrack as guests enjoyed champagne, canapés and the opportunity to chat in the sunshine.
The celebrations also provided the backdrop for the launch of Allen Brown’s new anniversary collection of jewellery, created to mark the milestone year.
Allen said:
"Reaching 40 years in business is something I am incredibly proud of, but it has never been about one person – it has always been about teamwork, the support of our wonderful customers and the relationships we have built with suppliers and friends over many years.
"I am extremely fortunate to work alongside such a dedicated team, and I am deeply grateful to every customer who has trusted us to be part of some of the most important moments in their lives.
"The weekend was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate together, reflect on the journey so far and look ahead to the next chapter."
The anniversary weekend also provided an opportunity to support local charity St Giles Hospice through a joint initiative with The Boat restaurant.
Guests were invited to purchase raffle tickets to win a tasting menu at the Michelin-starred venue, raising more than £500.
Allen added:
"It was very special to see so many familiar faces and to hear the stories and memories that people associate with the business.
"We have always believed that buying jewellery should feel personal and memorable, and those relationships are what have kept the business thriving for 40 years."
