Peter Jackson the Jeweller is celebrating 40 years of trading in Preston.

The family business kicked off a year of ruby anniversary celebrations by inviting 40 special guests to a banquet at Samlesbury Hall.

The guest list was made up of family, friends, suppliers and customers who have been a part of managing director Peter Jackson’s personal or business life over the last four decades.

Also around the table were eight of the jewellery firm’s team with a total of 176 years’ service between them.

Michelin Star chef Nigel Haworth created a six-course meal, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. Guests were seated in the Grand Hall at a candle-lit table decorated with ruby red roses.

Peter said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be celebrating 40 years in business and look forward to many more.

“It is a privilege to have been serving the people of Preston for such a long time and we are extremely grateful to our loyal and dedicated customer base – many of whom have shopped with us for so long they now feel more like family.

“We have been a part of so many special occasions – engagements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, Valentines, Mothers and Fathers days and many more. Each one unique to the people involved and each one a joy to be included in.”

with you last night was a real privilege.”
