New beginnings for Ortak

Ortak Jewellery is back being manufactured in Orkney, with the town centre shop in Kirkwall set to reopen next week.
A group of partners, led by main shareholder in the venture, Michael Gardens, have bought the brand, have gone into production, and are looking forward to the future.
There was shock last April when it was announced that Ortak had gone into administration due to the “economic climate and difficult trading conditions.”
At the time of the announcement, Ortak employed 155 staff and traded from 15 stores around the world, with their head office and manufacturing base at Hatston Industrial Estate.
