We were rocking and rolling all night long when we were recognised as Retail Stars at this year’s Professional Jeweller Hot 100 event. The annual event names the best jewellery retailers throughout the UK which are added into the Hot 100 book for 2011.
We swapped our dapper everyday attire for flamboyant rockstar inspired outfits and bold facepaint to pose as American 70’s rock band ‘Kiss’ at this year’s Hot 100 photoshoot for Professional Jeweller magazine.
We are one of few jewellers to be nominated for the second year in a row and were presented with the award at a dazzling award ceremony on Tuesday 6th September 2011, at London’s One Mayfair. More than 700 guests attended this year’s Professional Jeweller Hot 100 event in association with The Company of Master Jewellers and supported by Ti Sento, Aagaard, Swarovski and Trollbeads, where Professional Jeweller editor-in-chief Rachael Taylor announced the winners to be entered in this year’s Hot 100 book.
The pictures were showcased at the glittering event on Tuesday evening and we were named as one of the best jewellery retailers in the UK in the ‘Retail Star’ category. The accolade recognised our best practice and innovation in the industry, outstanding customer service and keeping customers satisfied with great products and excellent retail experiences.
Kyron Keogh said: “We are absolutely delighted to be part of Professional Jewellers Hot 100 and honoured to be recognised as a ‘Retail Star’ in this year’s book. It’s been an exciting year for ROX with the launch of thrill room which has given us a great space for hosting private shopping events that reward our existing, loyal customers and help us build relationships with newer customers. As a company we always believe in treating our customers like VIPs and this is very mush an extension of that philosophy.”
He added: “We had a great time at the photoshoot – we wanted to do something a bit different, a little daring and that’s why we both chose to dress as one of our favourite rock stars – ‘Kiss’, we wanted to unleash our inner ROXstar.”
Hot 100 is an annual project run by Professional Jeweller. Each year the magazine’s editorial team selects 100 individuals in the UK jewellery industry who it believes have shown true innovation and have driven their businesses, and so the industry, forward over the past 12 months. There is no number allocation in the book, and instead it is divided up into sections to reflect the different types of individuals profiled and photographed for the book. This year the sections were:
Professional Jeweller editor-in-chief Rachael Taylor said of the event: “Everyone who has made it into this year’s Hot 100 has excelled in the past year and is an example of best practice in the industry, from trendsetting jewellery designers creating beautiful designs to retailers working hard on the shopfloor to keep customers satisfied with great products and excellent retails experiences.”

David Coulthard was in Glasgow last night to officially launch the TW Steel David Coulthard Special Edition watch at our store in the Argyll Arcade.
We were selected as the prestigious venue for the exclusive official UK launch of TW Steel’s new range and hosted a glamorous event for fashion and media movers and shakers to unveil the new collection.
Our stylish dual level store was given an F1 makeover for the event and guests were given the rare chance to see, and have pictures taken, with the F1 Lotus show car that had been located infront of our store. Inside guests enjoyed the F1 simulator that was set up in our thrill room and the F1 batack.
Lee McKenzie interviewed David infront of a packed audience and guests were treated to a Moet reception, Smirnoff Black French Martinis , St Mungo’s beer from the WEST brewery and delicious YoSushi canapés.
The night’s soundtrack came courtesy of Clyde 1’s Adrian Coll while guests included Clyde 1’s Knoxy, the BBC’s Cat Cubie, STV’s Sean Batty and a host of movers and shakers from Glasgow’s fashion and media industry.
The TW Steel David Coulthard Special Edition has been designed to celebrate the stellar career of David Coulthard, who holds 13 Formula One victories having competed for Williams F1, McLaren-Mercedes and Red Bull Racing.
The TW Steel David Coulthard Special Edition watch reflects DC’s passion for detail, while offering a bold, sophisticated look which perfectly captures the luxurious associations that come from his involvement in one of the world’s most glamorous and appealing sports – motor racing.
