Graeme Hogarth, his wife Helen, and their daughter Laura – the fourth generation of the family business – now run The Jewellers. Graeme and Laura handle the jewellers, while Helen manages the Silver Shop. The business remains an independent, family-run jewellers, which Kendal is proud to have within it’s town.

Heritage

In 1923, Cyril Hogarth bought a jeweler’s shop and added a glasses dispensary. After his death, his wife Hilda ran the shop until their son Alan took over in 1955. Alan received extensive training and became active in professional organizations. He and his wife Rita ran the shop for many years, even studying in Switzerland and going on study tours around the world.

Graeme and Helen joined the family business, in 1982 and after their children were born, Helen started managing the Silver Shop which sells contemporary and classic silver jewelry and watches. Laura, their daughter, joined the business in 2013 after gaining her own experience and training, and has completed the professional jewellers diploma like many of their staff.

The business has undergone several changes over the years, including the opening of a silver shop in 1989 and the doubling of its size in 2009. In 2002, the Jewellers expanded by extending into the shop next door, and in 2010, the shop was updated to match the Silver Shop opposite. The private ring lounge was refreshed in 2018 to create a comfortable and luxurious space for customers to view diamond ring collections.
