Paul & Jo Henderson Wave |
Feature from Retail jewellerey magazine : Buying power list Top 30
Wave Contemporary Jewellery
What makes Jo and Paul Henderson so special is that they are the perfect combination. She is 1st class honours arts graduate, so has a great understanding of culture, form and the aesthetic side of things, while he is excellent with numbers and has previous experience in accountancy , so has a firm grasp of good business practice. As a result they make an excellent buying team.
The Hendersons make a great team
They travel outside the UK to trade shows such as Brasil, Basel in Switzerland, Vicenza in Italy, Inhorgenta in Germany and even further afield. They have a methodological approach when they attend these shows, and walk down every aisle, looking in every window to see what’s out there and what the latest trends and best designs are - even if it is not something they would necessarily stock in any of their six stores.
They have expanded Wave Contemporary Jewellery and stepped out of their comfort zone by moving into the premium watch market, and now visit trade show SIHH in Geneva to keep on top of the latest watch trends. A customer shopping at one of the jeweller’s branches can always be assured they are going to walk away with something beautiful.
