Glenray Jewellers started its life as Glenray Watches in 1967 and this year we are excited to be celebrating our 50th anniversary. Our first shop, was opened in Letchworth in 1967 by Raymond, his wife, Glenda, and his parents Dave and Hilda. Raymond originally trained as a watchmaker at Asprey’s and was just in his early twenties when he founded Glenray. All members of the family took an active role in the day-to-day operations of the shop, and business flourished. It wasn’t long before the shop expanded into selling jewellery as well as watches. It became a thriving family business, committed to customer care and exceptional service and it is thanks to this that, today, the Letchworth shop is the oldest and most respected jewellers in the town, having been established for 50 years. The success of the Letchworth shop led to the opening of the second Glenray shop, in Hitchin, in 1975. The Hitchin shop was also a great success and has been an integral part of the business community in this thriving town since it opened its doors. Both shops now stock an extensive range of exquisite jewellery and both are esteemed in their respective communities for their high standards of service. Glenray is particularly proud of its wedding and engagement ring selection and is recognised as a specialist in this area.
