H Samuel Voucher Codes - Nov 2019

History of H.Samuel

High street jeweller H.Samuel had humble beginnings in Manchester in the 1860s, as a mail order company headed by Harriet Samuel, who had taken over her father-in-law's Liverpool clockmaker's business in 1862. In 1890, Harriet's son opened the first H.Samuel store in Preston, soon followed by further stores in Rochdale and Lancashire. He relocated the expanding company headquarters to Birmingham in 1912 and after the First World War Harriet's grandsons Gilbert and Robert became the company's chairman and vice chairman.

Until the brothers' deaths in the 1970s, the company grew to over 200 stores across the UK, and Robert's son then took the helm, leading H.Samuel during the 1980s into an acquisition deal with the James Walker Group and a merger with the Ratner Group. This resulted in a restructure and group rebranding in the 1990s as the Signet Group. Today, there are over 300 H.Samuel stores nationwide and it is a familiar face on UK high streets.

H.Samuel's high street and online stores cater to customers' needs by supplying quality and affordable branded jewellery, watches, collectibles and gifts, as well as a bespoke engraving service, guides and advice on jewellery care and selection. There is also interest free credit available on a range of products (subject to circumstances), making the jewellery shopping experience convenient and hassle free.

H.Samuel proudly supports CLIC Sargent for children with cancer, and alongside regular campaigning it is currently selling George, the CLIC Sargent mascot bear, from which all profits will be donated to the charity.

Security & Reviews

H.Samuel use SSL technology in their online systems and all personal information is encrypted to prevent loss of personal and payment data. MasterCard Securecode and Verified by Visa add another level of protection at the point of purchase and H.Samuel also uses ReD's ebitGuard technology to detect and prevent card fraud.

H.Samuel has unfortunately received some negative reviews from customers on TrustPilot (https://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.hsamuel.co.uk), but it is worth remembering that people are often more motivated to leave negative reviews than positive feedback following a purchase, particularly when ordering something that can be very personally emotive such as jewellery.
