This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible women who make up our team. Each of them brings unique talents, experiences, and a shared passion in everything they do. In their own words, here’s what they’re proud of, what drives them forward, and of course, their favourite piece of jewellery.
“Hi, my name is Natalie, Assistant Manager at our Halifax showroom.
My favourite piece of jewellery is part of our Endless collection. I treated myself to the small circle pendant in white gold for a special birthday last year, so this year I’m working on adding the matching earrings too!
I’m lucky that I get to work alongside some incredible women every day. I think it’s so important to surround yourself with people who fill your cup on a daily basis. I would say to women in business find your strengths and work on your weaknesses.
Growth often comes from a place of stepping out of your comfort zone and this can be scary but is worth the rewards. Most importantly, know your worth. Women belong in all places that decisions are being made and are capable of achieving anything we set our minds to!”
“I’m Rosie, the Assistant Manager at the Ilkley showroom.
My favourite piece of jewellery is my engagement ring, which I waited seven years for! It’s an elongated emerald cut diamond with a diamond cluster in a platinum setting. It’s such a special piece to me. I’ve always believed in going for what I want in life, no matter the wait, and I love encouraging others to do the same.”
“Hi, my name is Gemma, and I am a Managing Director At Lister Horsfall. Balancing both my professional and personal life is so important to me. As a Managing Director, wife, and a mum to three girls, I always aim to show them that with passion and determination, they can chase their dreams and create their own path.
Whether it’s leading a business, embracing new challenges, or finding time to recharge with my family and our dog, Nancy, I believe that balance is key. To the incredible women in business—trust in yourself, embrace the journey, and never be afraid to carve out your own way forward.”
“Hi my name is Danielle, I’m a Senior Sales Assistant here at Lister Horsfall.
My favourite piece of jewellery is my Yellow Gold diamond set ‘D’ initial.
My Gran always said, ‘What’s for you, sweetheart, won’t pass you,’ and it’s something I’ve always lived by.”
“I’m Santa, Marketing Manager at Lister Horsfall. It is an exciting ride—no two days are the same, and I thrive on the challenges and creativity that come with it. I love that my role constantly pushes me to think differently and adapt, which is something women do naturally every day.
Beyond my career, I’m also a mum, and I truly believe that’s my secret superpower. Balancing work and family isn’t always easy, but it has taught me resilience, patience, and the ability to multitask like a pro! Women have an incredible ability to wear many hats and do it with grace, strength, and determination.
When I want to add a bit of edge to my day, I reach for one of my favourite pieces—Shaun Leane’s Hook Earrings.
For me, being a woman is about embracing all the different parts of life—career, family, and everything in between. It’s not about having it all figured out, but enjoying the journey, celebrating the wins, and knowing that we’re capable of amazing things.”
“I’m Ciara, Finance Director at Lister Horsfall. Becoming a director has been my proudest career moment at Lister Horsfall.
Nick has the support of two strong women directors with Gemma our Managing Director and myself. We should celebrate the incredible women in our business.
My other greatest reward is guiding the incredible women in my little team past and present. Watching them grow, develop their skills and gain confidence in their role.
Beyond my career, my greatest achievement is being a mother to two extraordinary daughters. Seeing them thrive in their careers and relationships, fills me with immense pride. It has been a privilege to be a big part of their lives.
My favourite piece of jewellery is a beautiful diamond pendant my husband gave me for our 30th anniversary, and I wear it nearly every day.”
“Hi I’m Mia, a Sales Assistant at Lister Horsfall.
It’s hard for me to pick my favourite piece of jewellery as I love almost all of it but if I had to pick, it would be the diamond double halo emerald cut ring with diamond shoulders.
My biggest achievement so far is completing university with a degree in fashion styling and photography!
Since working at Lister Horsfall my confidence has shined a lot more and that is down to some of the amazing ladies that I work with who help to push my confidence and achieve the most whist I continue to grow.
My advice to all women is you can do anything you put your mind to we are all beautiful in our own way.”
“Hi my name is Maria and I work in the repairs department.
My favourite piece of jewellery is the Fope bracelet from the Eka collection because, to me, it’s a perfect symbol of the strength and resilience women carry with them every day.
My message to all the women in the world is: Be yourself and keep doing what you’re doing, because you are doing an amazing job, no matter what it is.”
“Hi, I’m Sheree, a Sales Specialist at Lister Horsfall’s Ilkley showroom.
My favourite piece is the Florentine Yellow Gold engagement ring with an oval centre stone and two pear-shaped diamonds. It’s a truly unique design, and I can’t resist admiring it. I like to think of myself as someone who knows her worth, and I love helping others see that too.”
“I’m Bex, working as the Stock Co-Ordinator and Finance Assistant.
My favourite diamond shape is marquise cut because it’s elegant and distinctive.
My proudest moment in my career is getting a distinction in my AAT level 2 course – I’m so excited to complete level 3 and 4 to become an MAAT!”
“I’m Hamnah, a Sales Specialist at our Ilkley showroom. I adore my role, as I get to combine my passion for luxury with building genuine connections and creating those special moments for our clients.
My favourite piece is The Rolex Daytona, Yellow Rolesor. This timepiece is the perfect balance of bold and elegant.
My proudest moment must be balancing my career, alongside my degree in International Business Management.
Working within Lister Horsfall has given me skills that cannot be taught and has improved both my professional and academic performance. My advice to women is all about trusting what you know and owning it.”
“I’m Chloe, I work in the office at Lister Horsfall. I love that my role gives me a chance to learn about so many different aspects of the business – it’s always something new!
Outside of work I love spending time with my fiancé and our dog, my friends and family, cooking and travelling.
My favourite piece of jewellery I own is a toss-up between my engagement ring (for obvious reasons) and my Georg Jensen hoops, because they are so beautiful, a bit quirky and I reach to wear them constantly!
I think we should all be encouraged to embrace who we are and be confident in our own beauty.”
“Hi, I’m Caroline, Training and Development Manager at Lister Horsfall.
After 30 years in fashion retail management, joining the family business has really improved my work-life balance.
I’m proud of the nurturing role I play within the team, and it’s been a rewarding journey watching my role evolve.
As a single mum, my greatest achievement is watching my son grow into the person he is today. Even though he lives across the globe, his success makes me so proud.
My favourite piece of jewellery is my emerald-cut double halo diamond engagement ring!”
“I’m Katy, Social Media Executive at Lister Horsfall.
I joined the team at the beginning of this year. From the moment I started, I’ve felt such a warm welcome from everyone. It’s so motivating to work alongside such a dedicated and talented group of women.
My favourite piece of jewellery is the tennis bracelet, although I love anything that sparkles!
I believe that with hard work and passion, you can achieve whatever you want out of life.”
“Hi, I’m Sasha, the Showroom Housekeeper at Lister Horsfall.
My family is my greatest treasure. I’m a mum of three and a proud grandma to one grandson and one granddaughter. Family moments are the highlight of my life, and every year, we love exploring new destinations.
I absolutely love my job because it perfectly suits me—cleaning and organising are my passion, and I thrive on the satisfaction of seeing a job well done.
For me, it’s all about finding joy in the little things.”
At Lister Horsfall, we’re incredibly proud to be a part of such a dynamic team of women, each bringing their own unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences. We continue to support each other’s growth, empower one another and celebrate our wins.
