Silver, Gold And Platinum – Celebrate The Jubilee In Style…..

25th May 2022 This month we celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee and its time mark the occasion. Whether or not you are a strong supporter, you have to admire her 70 years of unbridled service to the nation and respect all of the events she has lived through and still be heading the State today.  The daily news seems to feed off doom and gloom and thrives on giving the nation a dose of negativity every morning to put us into a subdued mood. As retailers, we dread the headlines... Read More

How It All Began…

3rd October 2021 Often I get asked how I got interested in pawnbroking and how it all began. My family have been in the industry since 1840 and originally traded as a family business called Herbert Brown.

Times Have Changed, Or Have They?

28th February 2020 My family have been pawnbrokers for a very long time. In fact we have been in the trade for over 180 years and six generations.
