In a bittersweet announcement, the Bridal Collective has revealed the impending retirement of two pivotal figures in the UK’s bridal industry: Jeanette Stevens, UK Managing Director, and Mark Stevens, UK Sales Director. Their retirement will take effect on June 8th.

Jeanette and Mark have been at the heart of Bridal Collective since its UK launch in 2012, steering the company’s success with unwavering dedication. Their energy and commitment to the company’s vision have been nothing short of remarkable. Under their leadership, Bridal Collective has flourished, leaving an indelible mark on the UK’s bridal industry.

The company’s UK operations will continue seamlessly, overseen by the Global Bridal Collective’s CEO, Mary Nguyen. The team and wider industry feel the contributions of Jeanette and Mark will forever be cherished; their tireless efforts have earned them deep respect from colleagues and industry insiders alike.

Jeanette and Mark’s retirement is a significant milestone, signalling the end of an era. Bridal Collective tells us: “Anyone who has had the pleasure knowing them will know this is not an easy decision but that they deserve to go into retirement with their heads held high and enjoy retirement to the fullest. On behalf of everyone at Bridal Collective, we would like to wish them the best of luck in the future and wish them a wonderful retirement together.” 

A message from Jeanette & Mark:

“Mark and I began our incredible journey with Mary and the Global Bridal Collective team in 2012 and can honestly say it’s been a life changing adventure that we will value and treasure always.

It’s with mixed emotions that we transition into full retirement, excited for our future together but tinged with sadness at having to say goodbye.

We would both like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for the support that you have given both us personally and Bridal Collective UK over the years, and just as important all the fun, laughter and friendships that have developed on this adventure. We will treasure them. We leave you in very safe hands and wish you all the very best for the future of your business and personal lives.

Thank you all once again for all the memories, please don’t be a stranger, Jeanette and Mark.”
