A big Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding high five to Dorset's Goldcrest Jewellers, winners of The Best Family Run Jewellery Business 2020 South West England in the SME News Southern Enterprise Awards 2020.

It's the latest accolade for the multi-award winning business and their biggest to date. "As you can imagine we are completely blown away," says owner Neil Strudwick. A goldsmith with more than 30 years experience Neil launched the business in 2010 with his wife Donna who runs the retail side while he's in the workshop doing repairs, making display and customer-designed pieces including wedding rings.
