Nettleton’s owner Matthew Nettleton says that joining the CMJ will give his business access to product and business information from within the buying group.

“The main benefits we see are the networking opportunities that the organisation will offer us, as well as new brand information we will receive as it comes to market. We have met several members of the CMJ over the years and everyone has only positive comments to make about being part of the group; for us this can only mean moving forward with a strong support network across the jewellery industry,” he explains.

CMJ chief executive Willie Hamilton adds: “The CMJ offers retailers access to an established support network of like-minded businesses across the UK and Ireland, which members can benefit from without losing any of their independence. We are delighted to welcome these three successful retailers to the group.”
