Lancashire Jeweller’s Ruby Celebration
02 Mar 2023
To start a year-long celebration of 40 years since the first Peter Jackson the Jeweller store opened in Preston, 40 special guests were treated to a sumptuous banquet at Samlesbury Hall – the Medieval stately home half way between Preston & Blackburn.
Celebrity Michelin Star chef Nigel Haworth created a magnificent six course meal, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.
During a canapé reception, guests were treated to the beautiful voice of Louise Spiteri, singing her favourite hits from 40 years ago.
Guests were then seated in the magnificent Grand Hall at a single table, candle-lit and stunningly decorated with ‘Ruby Red’ roses by celebrated Lancashire Florist Jane Thompson of Flower Design.
The guest list was made up of family, friends, suppliers & customers who have been a part of Peter’s personal or business life over the last four decades.
In welcoming the guests, Peter said,
“The last 40 years have been an incredible journey and every person here has shared a part of that journey with me. I am honoured to be able to share this special evening with you”
Also, around the table were 8 of the Peter Jackson the Jeweller team with a staggering total of 176 years’ service between them.
According to Peter,
“The greatest asset any business can have is good people and I truly have the very best.”
Craig Leach, Brand Director for Raymond Weil said,
“I just wanted to express my grateful thanks for including me in your special celebration of 40 years in our wonderful industry. This is no small achievement, and careers like yours will become rarer over time and to celebrate with you last night was a real privilege.”
One guest, ex High Sherrif of Lancashire, Suzie Reynolds DL of Leighton Hall, Carnforth said,
“We had a fabulous evening, as with typical generosity, Peter Jackson, hosted a spectacular banquet to mark the beginning of Peter Jackson the Jeweller’s 40th anniversary celebrations. From the breath-taking flower arrangements in the Dining Hall to the feast prepared and cooked by Nigel Haworth, it was an evening that none of us lucky guests will ever forget”.
