John Quirke Jeweller

In 1991 John made his move to 14 Castle Street in Cahir where his business is still situated today. This move was due to his business expanding and the need for more space. The official opening of that store was carried out by Declan Carr, All Ireland winning Tipperary captain.Having found that their factory outlet needed a permanent presence in the area, Tipperary Crystal appointed John as their first off-site retailer and he was also was the first in the region to have computerized engraving. Due to high demand for his products, a second engraving machine has since been added.Originally running the shop himself, John now employs two fulltime staff along with a number of part time staff. To complement the more traditional trophy craft business, he has in recent years expanded into giftware, repairs and crystal. John has always found himself at the heart of sporting and other various local communities, and has sponsored numerous events in the locality since the business began.
