Ambiance of Colchester celebrated its silver anniversary on March 25

Ambiance of Colchester celebrated its silver anniversary on March 25. Vicki Wheeler, who launched Ambiance in 1985, held an extra-special open day introducing this season’s new collections. More than 150 guests, including customers, designers, agents from Ambiance’s suppliers and the press, came to raise a glass of Champagne and toast Vicki and the team while models drifted through the crowds. Since opening in February 1985, Ambiance has gone on to build up a strong customer base and was named Retailer of the Year in the 2008 Best of Colchester Awards and was also a finalist in the Colchester District Business Awards the following year. Vicki said: ‘We are proud of our achievements and the status the boutique has earned in this area of fashion.’
