Andy Mardle and Carolyn Frank took over Libby Butler Jewellers in June 2009.

Andy Mardle said: “We were delighted to surprise Colin and Sally with this early Christmas present.

“In fact, Sally joked that Colin could have kept it quiet and surprised her for Christmas with it!

“We are grateful to all our customers, from Helmsley, Malton, Pickering, Ryedale and beyond, who have supported us in our first 10 years in business.”
