The People Behind Crystal Galleries
For more than forty years, Crystal Galleries has been powered by people who care, about the craft and the customers. From the road to the workshop to the accounts desk, each week we’ll introduce you to the colleagues you speak to, meet at shows and rely on when the brief is tricky and the deadline is tight.
This week we speak with Jeremy Lowes, Crystal Galleries Managing Director.
At CG since 1982, Jeremy leads the business with a hands‑on, family‑firm approach. He loves the long‑standing customer relationships and catching up at shows. Outside work, it’s all about family, friends, good food, a drink, and sport in the background. His favourite meal is a classic Chicken Kiev with proper chips.
Fun fact? His school athletics career ended thanks to a stray javelin. Yes, really!
