Lister Horsfall, a fourth-generation family-owned jeweler based in Halifax, West Yorkshire, is proving that multibrand stores don’t have to resemble duty-free outlets. With a deep-rooted presence in its local community, Lister Horsfall continues to thrive as a prominent independent retailer, despite the proximity of larger cities like Leeds and Manchester.
Founded in 1902 as The Little Diamond Shop, Lister Horsfall has long been a cornerstone of Halifax, serving generations of clients with exceptional quality and service. Now, after a multi-million dollar refurbishment, the jeweler has unveiled a newly expanded showroom. Spanning 7,360 square feet over two floors, the space features a stunning design with natural stone, walnut, golden accents, and beige leather, setting a luxurious tone for the entire ground floor.
Nick Horsfall, the managing director, shared his excitement for the new showroom, stating, “This new showroom is a tribute to our legacy and a promise to continue inspiring our loyal clients for generations to come. It reflects our reputation as not only one of the most respected jewelers in the UK but also as one of the most forward-thinking.”
The store’s prime location showcases Rolex as an anchor brand, with a dedicated “Rolex space” situated at the foot of a grand staircase. The space exudes elegance, with a VIP lounge and a fully stocked bar, creating a high-end, immersive shopping experience. While Lister Horsfall has yet to join the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned program, it does offer a Rolex Authorized Service Center, as well as a section for second-hand watches.
In addition to Rolex, the jeweler carries prestigious brands such as Tudor, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Longines, and a curated collection of fine jewelry from Fope, Yoko London, and Gucci. Lister Horsfall has also emphasized hospitality and customer experience with the new showroom, offering spaces for product launches and events designed to foster lasting relationships with clients.
Gemma Moody, managing director, expressed her vision for the store, saying, “At the heart of this venture is our commitment to creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. We’re excited to build strong relationships with our customers and set new standards for excellence in retail.”
