Beaverbrooks, a family-owned jeweller, has a strong presence in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. It was established in 1919 by three brothers, the Adlestone brothers, Isaac, Harry and Maurice, moved to Belfast to sell fine jewelry and gifts. While the main headquarters are in St Annes, near Blackpool, they have a store in Church Street, Blackpool. Beaverbrooks’ history in the North West of England began with the brothers targeting the area and basing their operations in St Annes in 1946.
They’re celebrating 105 years of family heritage. Today, they now have 85 stores nationwide and over 1,200 colleagues. And, Isaac’s grandson, Mark Adlestone, is their beloved Chairman. They’ve won multiple awards, with their focus on their people, their customers and their products. Not only have they been in the 100 Best Companies to Work For list for 20 consecutive years (only two companies have achieved this), but they’ve recently won the Lifetime Achievement Award for being in the top 10 for five consecutive years – becoming the UK’s 3rd Best Large Company & Retail’s Best Company to Work For 2023.
To say they help the community is a real understatement. For a start they created Beaverbrook House on Newton Drive and they put on Blackpool’s Annual 10k Fun Run on the Promenade. They are extremely proud to say that since the year 2000, they have donated over £24 million to over 750 charities.
The words OLD POST OFFICE BUILDINGS can be clearly seen at the top of the Beaverbrooks building if you step back far enough away.
