Who is Beaverbrooks owned by?
Established in 1919, with the opening of its first shop in Belfast, it is still a family-owned business, with direct descendants of the founders (the third and fourth generations of the Adlestone family) the present day custodians. Our story began in 1919 when the three Adlestone brothers, Isaac, Harry and Maurice, moved to Belfast to pursue their dream of selling fine jewellery and gifts.
