New partners prepare to relaunch Ortak

Just over a year since Ortak went into administration, the jewellery brand is to make a comeback.

It is understood there are five partners involved in the relaunch.

Three names confirmed as being associated with the new company are husband and wife, Grant and Alison Firth, along with Mike Gardens.

Speaking this week, Mrs Firth said: “We have bought the brand, and it is our intention to get back into manufacture here in Orkney.”

She said a meeting is due to take place today, Thursday, and that further details will be revealed in due course.
