One of the UK's leading retailers of jewellery and prestige
collectables, Compton & Woodhouse, have announced plans to celebrate 25
years in the industry by releasing a limited edition commemorative
figure.
World-renowned sculptor John Bromley is the talented artist commissioned to create a
stunning limited edition piece made exclusively for the prestigious occasion.
Compton & Woodhouse believe that an anniversary is a perfect cause for celebration,
and the brand who have provided beautiful gifts, fine jewellery, collectable bears,
discounted diamonds and luxury items for the home for a quarter of a century are
delighted to celebrate such an occasion with their loyal and valued customers.
Since 1985, Compton & Woodhouse have been providing the absolute best in unique
figurines and exclusively commissioned collectables, becoming an established
household name in the process, and have collaborated with the world's most
celebrated artists and craftspeople.
John Bromley is one such sculptor and has expressed his delight at being chosen for
such a momentous occasion; "I've worked with Compton & Woodhouse since the very
beginning, and it's a great privilege to help them celebrate their 25th year."
Bromley recently celebrated an anniversary of his own and was eager to make his
latest piece for Compton & Woodhouse extra special; "The piece we've created not
only marks an important milestone for the company, but also means a lot to me
personally. I'm extremely fortunate to earn a living doing something I love and,
though I can hardly believe it, I've now been sculpting for 50 years. I knew
instantly that this figurine must be something really meaningful, and inspiration
came from a source very close to me – my own granddaughter."
The Compton & Woodhouse brand has grown through innovation across the years,
starting out as a print-driven company covering home catalogues, national press and
woman's magazines before evolving into a 21st century brand retailing online and
most recently through a television shopping channel.
Mark Dugdale, Compton & Woodhouse's Chief Executive, looks forward to another
successful 25 years trading:
"We have had a fantastic 25 years, and want to thank all of our customers, staff
and artists that have made all of this possible. We are delighted to be working with
John Bromley for our 25th anniversary and look forward to many more years in
business."
From the very beginning, Compton & Woodhouse's aim was to bring people the very
finest selection of figurines and collectables. Royal Staffordshire figurines are
instantly recognisable for their smooth, flawless finish and impeccable attention to
detail. John Bromley's creation, titled ‘Hannah', has been crafted by hand using
time-honoured techniques. The care and attention is second to none and the 2,500
special edition figurines each arrive individually numbered and stamped with Royal
Staffordshire's authenticity and signed by John Bromley.
Compton & Woodhouse offer a guarantee of excellence across all prestige
collectables, diamond rings and
other pieces of fine jewellery. Their reputation for providing classic design,
quality, artistry and supreme craftsmanship has led them to become the UK's leading
