Just like Marks & Spencer's, David started out as a market trader; a consistent face at Blackbushe Market for 32 years along with many other markets, including Andover, Farnborough and Guildford. After 10 years of solely being a market trader, often running two stalls a day, David opened up his first store in Eastleigh, shortly followed by stores in Totton, Romsey and Shirley. David retired from the markets in 2008 and opened up the Andover store which now sits proudly alongside their successful branches in Eastleigh & Totton and their very busy repair and manufacturing workshop. Wife Christine and children Dan, Jim and Amy work alongside David and their team of fantastic staff to ensure your encounter with David Mellor Family Jewellers is an extremely pleasant one!
