Parkhouse Becomes Laing - A Shared Name for Shared Values

As you may know, the Parkhouse business was bought by Scotland’s oldest family jewellery, Laing, back in 1995. Founded in 1840, Laing like Parkhouse has a long, rich history of delivering dreams for its customers, offering the highest quality service and products.

Thanks to a longstanding friendship between the two business, when the time came for John Parkhouse to sell his business he immediately chose Laing as his preferred buyer in recognition of their similar history and shared values.

The Laing business is run by the fifth generation, Michael Laing OBE, and has son Richard. The business revolves around the pursuit of excellence and around family. Michael and Richard continue to travel to Antwerp to personally hand select the diamonds that are sold in both Parkhouse and Laing stores, and the Laing family has become the inspiration for our most loved pieces, with the Family Collection designed for and named after Michael’s granddaughters, daughters and wife.

Because family and family values are so important, the time has come for these two great businesses to officially become one, and from September the Parkhouse stores will become Laing stores.

To celebrate this new name, our Cardiff store will be given a fresh exterior, while our Hampshire store will be making the very exciting move from Above Bar to a new luxury location in the much more accessible WestQuay.

You can continue to expect the same smiling faces, highest level of service and exceptional brands that Parkhouse and Laing have been delivering for over 220 years. We will continue to deliver dreams for all our customers with our own bespoke designed jewellery collections, hand selected diamonds and the best luxury watch brands in the world.
