It is the single largest retailer for Pandora , the jewellery manufacturer publicly listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange. While studying business at the University of Ulster, Boyle fell in to selling posters in a market stall. He had a good eye for choosing merchandise and his entire stock sold out in his first week of trading.
Then a friend made him a gift of a Celtic mirror; he liked the look of it and persuaded her to design a few more which he added to his poster trade. The trader next to where Boyle had pitched up to sell his wares asked him to keep an eye on his jewellery stall.
He noticed jewellery turned a bigger profit more quickly than his posters and mirrors ever could. He soon found himself travelling around Ireland selling jewellery at festivals, gigs and beaches. He had a regular weekly spot in Belfast too — albeit as an illegal trader — selling from a prime spot in the main shopping district of Royal Avenue.
During his student days his trade was interrupted because the police moved illegal traders. After graduating he stuck with his street-trading, sourcing jewellery from all over the world and building up his business contacts until Belfast City Council started to get tough with illegal traders and the fines started going up.
