Orchard Client nominated for Toast of Surrey Award

Orchard client Simon Pure has been shortlisted in the prestigious 2010 Toast Of Surrey Business Awards, whose sponsors include the Surrey Advertiser newspaper and Eagle Radio 96.4. The design led jewellery manufacturer and retailer has been nominated in the Creative Industries category.

The business was established 24 years ago at Smithbrook Kilns, Cranleigh by Creative Director Steve Parsons, Technical Director Kevin Rogers and Managing Director Alix Parsons, and has since opened a Guildford shop as well as expanded its Smithbrook operations.

Simon Pure prides itself on designing and creating cutting edge contemporary jewellery in platinum, gold and silver and specialises in unusual gemstones. 70% of its stock is designed and created in house.

The company is no stranger to awards having won three top UK jewellery awards in the past three years. However this nomination is particularly satisfying, as Steve explains. “While we have always been known for our creative talents over the years, it is good for us to be recognised for our achievements as a successful business.”

We at Orchard wish Simon Pure every success at the awards ceremony, which takes place on Friday 5th March at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford.
