Signet, which has more than 300 stores across the UK and Ireland under the H.Samuel and Ernest Jones brands, has designed a modern and stylish new home for its store support centre team members in the south-east.
The company has moved from Borehamwood to the top floor of Building One on the business park on the edge of Watford.
The new offices include a range of facilities including formal and informal meeting spaces, areas for colleague to relax, and quiet working areas.
Employees also have the benefits of Croxley Park’s parkland, café, and gym.

Signet Jewelers’ chief executive officer, Gina Drosos, who officially opened the new headquarters, said: “I’m so honoured to mark this special moment in Signet’s history, with the opening of our new UK and Ireland office.
“Ever since Harriet Samuel took over a little-known clock-making business from her father-in-law in 1862, our company has been built on strong relationships with our customers, team members, partners and communities.
“It is truly inspiring to see Harriet’s enduring principles celebrated in this ultra-modern 21st century space that harnesses the latest technology and design innovation as we continue to focus on delighting our customers and, building trusted, lifetime relationships – all driven by our Purpose of Inspiring Love.”
Signet UK and Ireland managing director Neil Old added: "Croxley Park has given us the opportunity to bring everyone together on one floor and design an office space that gives us a long-term base to both meet the needs of our growing business and embrace flexible, modern ways of working.”
