Bob Thompson started his career in the jewellery industry in 1952, where he began as a respected and skilled watchmaker. Over the years, his interest in the industry expanded into the jewellery. Bob¿s wife, Margaret, joined Bob Thompson Jewellers in 1970. She handled the bookkeeping and daily store operations, working very hard with her husband in order to succeed in the competitive industry. Throughout the 50 years of their career, Bob and Margaret¿s main focus was to provide excellent service to their valued customers, while paying great attention to detail. Today, Bob Thompson Jewellers is one of the leading jewellery stores in Ottawa.
