About Us
Boreham Christopher jewellers was formed in 1988 in a shop on Hamilton Road Felixstowe,Suffolk.
Later in the following year we opened our second shop in Dovercourt Essex on the High Street, opearting from a shop on the corner of Hill Road and the High Street, which we still trade from.
In 1990 we moved our Felixstowe premises across the road into a bigger site, The old site is now occupied by the Oxfam shop.
In 2003 we opened our third branch in the busy Ipswich town.
We have always traded well with a good and happy workforce with a large majority being employed for 10 years plus, With 5 still here from when the company was formed.
