80's
Michael Hill grew to achieve national prominence with a unique retail jewellery formula including dramatically different store designs, a product range devoted exclusively to jewellery, and high impact advertising. Michael Hill established an in-house workshop with a team of master craftsmen, and is one of few jewellers that continue the tradition today. In 1987, the company was listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. In the same year, Michael Hill expanded into Australia with four stores in Brisbane.
