Noble Jewellery sell-off begins next week

WARRINGTON’S oldest family-owned jewellery business is to close after the firm witnessed a downturn in trade due to the economic climate.

The assets of 42 year-old Noble Jewellery are now being sold by Sanderson Weatherall on behalf of the company’s liquidator, Blackpool-based Campbell, Crossley & Davies.

It traded from two sites in Warrington as Noble Jewellery and Court Jewellery until liquidatores were appointed in late January, leading to the loss of 13 jobs.

A closing down sale of the company’s stock will begin at the company’s former premises at 2 Bridge St from next Thursday, March 1.

Neil Simpson, partner, machinery and business assets at the Manchester office of Sanderson Weatherall, said: “Noble Jewellery was a well-respected member of the Warrington corporate community for almost half a century and its liquidation was an unfortunate consequence of declining trade because of the poor economic climate.

“This is a genuine closing down sale with all goods available for half price or less and we expect a great deal of interest to be generated.”

The founder and managing director of Noble Jewellery, Stuart Noble, is retiring following the company’s closure.
