Weston, Fla.--Independent retailer Weston Jewelers recently announced the addition of two salespeople to its team, effective immediately.
Natalie Goldberg and Alan Finkel, both of who will serve as sales associates, bring more than six decades of combined experience in luxury retail sales to the Weston Jewelers team.
Goldberg, a 35-year industry veteran, joins Weston from Levinson Jewelers in Fort Lauderdale.
She began her career working with fine jewelry retailers in New York and has spent the last 17 years at luxury jewelry retailers in Florida, most recently serving as a sales associate for eight years at Levinson.
She brings a wide range of experience in management and proficiency on the sales floor to the Weston team, as well as a large following of previous clients. In her new position, Goldberg will support these existing clients while also developing new relationships.
Finkel began his career in the industry more than three decades ago. He started out working in manufacturing and then learned the trade at jewelry stores throughout southern Florida.
Prior to joining Weston Jewelers, Finkel also was with Levinson Jewelers, working as a sales associate there for the past 20 years.
At Weston, Finkel looks to introduce the long-term clients he had before to the personalized service at Weston Jewelers, as well as develop new relationships in the local market.
“We are thrilled to welcome Alan and Natalie to our Weston Jewelers family,” said store co-owner Tracey Dikes. “We pride ourselves in having a knowledgeable team that provides exceptional, first-class customer service to our guests, and we know that Alan and Natalie will do just that.”
