Grech
Jewellers - Mile End began in 1978; it began with
a basic jewellery workshop at the back of my parent's (Tony & Pauline
Grech) house at, Shaw Avenue Richmond
SA.
My
jewellery making & repair business grew rapidly so I decided to move and
establish my first shop close to my parent’s home, at 170 Sir Donald
Bradman Drive, Hilton S.A. on 01/04/1979.
Business continued
to grow and so in 1981 I moved to a new larger location
at 170 Henley Beach Road, Torrensville.
On the
15/06/1998Diamonds Direct workshops
was registered as the name of our Ring Design and Manufacturing workshop. Grech
Jewellers continues to be our retail identity.
GrechJewellers - Findon (formally
Keegans Jewellers) was acquired in 01/07/2008
and now with two Grech Jewellers stores in the Western Suburbs of Adelaide we are the largest professional
jewellery repair & manufacturing service at this side of Adelaide. Robert
Grech manages the Findon store; he is a qualified Jeweller and a skilled retail
operator, Roberts wife, Bianca also works at the Findon store.
Over time
I have apprenticed six jewellers, my brother, Chris Grech, my little mate Tim
Sander, my nephew Jamie Harrison and my three sons Christopher Grech, Antonni Grech
and Robert Grech.
Vicki my
wife and partner has been alongside me from the beginning, providing us her sound
fiscal & business management skills.
