Local business
Meet Ruth Rees from Martin Rees Jeweller Pawnbroker
Read about their long-standing business success and varied personal interests
Martin and I have been
jewellers since the 1970s.
Martin learned the trade
working at Nigel Hughes’ shop
in Chester and then we started
out trading on antique markets
at weekends. We also sold
old postcards and stamps (I
thought the stamps were really
boring though!). Subsequently,
we shared a shop on Town
Hill, took over the whole shop
a year or two later and finally
made the move to Chester
Street in 1985. We decided on
Wrexham because it’s been
our hometown since we were
married back in 1976.
“Besides jewellery, our ruling
passions have been travel
and riding big rollercoasters in
theme parks although Martin’s
health issues have cramped
our style on both recently. We
managed to enjoy two months
in Singapore earlier this year
and we still spend time at
Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and
the other Merlin attractions,
making good use of our annual
passes.
“It’s been a privilege to serve
the people of Wrexham all this

We’re in Chester Street, just past the
old Feathers Hotel opposite Sure to Please
time – they are so friendly and
intensely loyal. So many of
our customers have become
friends and we have second
and third generations coming
in to buy, sell, or get repairs
and valuations done. No two
days in our shop are ever the
same; we might end the day
exhausted, exhilarated or
sometimes stressed out – but
never bored!
