http://www.acsilver.co.uk/shop/pc/home.asp Welcome to AC Silver. Specialists in Antique, Vintage and Contemporary Sterling Silver, Diamond and Gemstone Jewellery. Mr Andrew Campbell gives you an insight into the world of AC Silver and how he has created the business he has today. View our website http://www.acsilver.co.uk Email enquiries@acsilver.co.uk to contact Andrew Andrew Campbell started trading in Antique Silver in the 1970's. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers. Andrew enjoyed his buying trips to the North of England and Scotland, making many new contacts on these rewarding forays. In 1983 Andrew returned to live in the North East, just outside Newcastle Upon Tyne, the city where he had been born. This move enabled Andrew to concentrate on sourcing quality items of silver from Northern England and Scotland. In 1999 the retail outlet of AC Silver at Graham Smith Antiques was opened in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne. From here Andrew continued to build his private customer base, sharing his knowledge and experience whilst selling quality pieces of silver either as gifts, or objects of virtu, for both personal pleasure and investment purposes. As a result of providing a professional service and dealing in quality items, Andrew saw his local private customer base grow. Building on this experience, Andrew set up his first web site in 2002, introducing his business to a worldwide audience via the Internet. This facility has enabled many new, international customers to view and purchase goods through the 'virtual' shop door, whilst still receiving individual, personal attention from Andrew. Due to the success and continued development of the web site, Andrew employed a fulltime member of staff to support and maintain this regularly up-dated on-line service. Jane Henderson had many years of management experience and working with teams and individuals, staff and members of the public and it was envisaged this expertise would further enhance the service offered to Andrew's customers. Now with this third version of the AC Silver web site, and new shop premises in Jesmond, Newcastle, Andrew's workforce has continued to increase in number and currently manages a team of five. Andrew's intention is to expand and improve his business further: in addition to offering a wide range of quality silverware at fair prices, AC Silver now holds a variety of fine antique, vintage and contemporary Diamond and gemstone jewellery pieces. Andrew takes pride in offering a high standard of service whilst giving personal attention to all customers, old and new.
