F.Hinds Upgrade to Bigger and Better Stores at Two Key Locations

12 Apr 2024

F.Hinds celebrated the upgrade of two stores last month, welcoming new and old customers alike to browse newly extended collections of jewellery, watches, diamonds and designer brands.

Having outgrown their units in Yate Shopping Centre, Bristol, and Jackson Square Shopping Centre in Bishop’s Stortford, the family-owned and run jewellers sought larger spaces to expand their ever-growing portfolio. 

As a business first established in 1856, F.Hinds has a strong history in both Yate and Bishop’s Stortford, having been a constant presence in both towns since the 1970s. This is the third upgrade within Jackson Square since opening there in 1975, while in Yate, F.Hinds remains the longest-established jeweller after opening its doors in 1970.

The experienced staff have transferred over to the new stores to continue the tradition of excellent customer service and brand knowledge, which they are famous for. They will continue to provide a wide range of services, including custom jewellery design, remodelling and repairs, Gold for Cash, watch servicing and more.

The relocation comes off the back of an incredibly successful 2023 for F.Hinds, who are proud to have 117 F.Hinds stores and 12 Chapelle stores across the UK thanks to several new store openings. The jewellers have also recently announced they have received three nominations at the UK Jewellery Awards 2024 after celebrating success at the awards in 2023 and taking home the coveted prize of Retailer of the Year.

Jeremy Hinds, Sales Director at F.Hinds, commented,

“We are thrilled to upgrade our much-loved F.Hinds stores to bigger and better units. We are pleased to show our commitment to the towns with relocated shops, demonstrating our confidence in Yate, Bishop’s Stortford and bricks-and-mortar retail in general. We wish the teams all the best with their relocations and look forward to welcoming back our loyal customers.

“The need to increase our retail footprint is a testament to our continued development as a business. We performed strongly last year, and the first quarter of 2024 has seen that growth continue. Plans are afoot for more positive changes, and we look forward to enhancing and improving our presence on the UK’s High Streets this year.”
