SIX jobs are being created in Dudley thanks to a new jewellery shop which is set to open its doors in The Churchill Shopping Centre this weekend.

National jeweller chain Warren James opens on Saturday (February 27) after signing a 10-year lease with London & Cambridge Properties (LCP), which owns and manages the shopping centre.

The jewellery specialists, which have been running stores since 1979 and is now one of the largest chains in the UK with over 180 stores nationwide, will bring its range of accessories to Dudley.

A Warren James spokesman said: “We are all very excited to open our doors and can’t wait to start meeting shoppers in Dudley.

“We are a team of jewellery lovers and the whole team can’t wait to deliver great advice and service to our new customers.

“We’re confident that shoppers will be quick to catch on to the amazing saving opportunities we have to offer.”

The new 2,139 sq ft store, which will sell gold, silver and diamond jewellery, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings, is also offering employment to six people.

Rob Heald, asset manager at LCP, said: “We are committed to providing Dudley shoppers with a good range of stores in the town centre and are thrilled that Warren James jewellers is opening a store in The Churchill Centre.

“It’s a welcome addition to an increasingly diverse retail offer we offer shoppers.”
