A WREXHAM jewellers celebrated 90 years by receiving a visit from the Mayor.
PW Hale’s jewellers on Bank Street was established 1932 by Percy Hale which was then taken over by his son Colin in 1961.
The shop is now run by Colin’s wife, Brenda following his retirement seven years ago with Brenda herself having worked at the jewellers for over 50 years.
The much-loved family business is also helped by Brenda’s daughter, Amanda and their son-in-law Pat. Daughter in-law, Rachel Hale has also recently joined the team following the sad passing of beloved staff member, Ann, who worked at PW Hale’s for 40 years.
The rich family tradition is continuing into the next generation too, as granddaughter, Milly has started working at the jewellers on Saturdays.
When asked what is their secret to longevity, their answer was simply 'trust and their outstanding personal service'.
