Jeweller Grant Partridge on 45 years in the family business, his passion for the craft and the question of succession
Few businesses in New Zealand can claim to have as prestigious a history as Partridge Jewellers. Family-operated since the 1800s, with the sixth generation now working in the business, it is a veritable dynasty —a fact that isn’t lost on its current leader, Grant Partridge.
Having worked in the family business since he was 16 years old, Partridge has brought a unique vision to its operations, working tirelessly to establish the Partridge name as inexorably entwined with the highest-quality jewels and jewellery designs in New Zealand. Under Partridge’s leadership, the business has grown in size and significance thanks to its exclusive relationship with some of the world’s most coveted luxury brands.
