humble beginnings

From humble beginnings

Our founder Hugh Rice started us on a journey that would span more than half a century. He served as an apprentice at a prestigious department store on George Street in Hull, honing his craft before setting up on his own.

memorable service

Memorable service

Our first premises was located in 36 George Street in 1971, just a stone’s throw away from Hugh Rice’s former place of employment. Starting life as a clock and watch repairer, our longstanding customers remember the store fondly, especially the warm, friendly service they received.
