Christopher Brown Jewellers York 05/06/2019

The ‘One Stop Shop’ for Summer!

5th June 2019 This month we launch our new Foreign Exchange department at our York and Pontefract branches. Seacroft, Shipley and Batley are already booming FX stores and it would seem that despite the uncertainty with the BREXIT decision and the political environment it doesn’t seem to have put us Brits off going abroad when it comes to the summer holidays. We try to be the most competitive supplier of Foreign Exchange in the locality and we check our rates throughout the day to make sure that remains the case.... Read More

JUNE 2018

30th May 2018 April and May have once again been big lending months. On top of that Gold Buying seems to have gone crazy – it’s like 2012 all over again! Gold price remains high and I believe people are realising now is the time to take advantage of that and sell their unwanted and scrap gold. Times are hard out there with petrol pump prices reaching new heights and inflation on most items we purchase due to the BREXIT effect while wages are limping somewhere behind. We recently opened...

January 2018

4th January 2018 January and February are among the busiest months in the pawnbroking calendar. It’s not surprising as there are plenty of times of the year that compete for the title of ‘most expensive month’ but January has to be the overall winner.  With everyone struggling due to the overspending brought about the Christmas festivities, two thirds of us spend our Januarys paying back credit card bills and overdrafts. Apparently 50% of us avoid the famous January sales in an attempt to save money and twice as many of... Read More

Diary Of A Pawnbroker March 2016

6th March 2016 Gold price is on the rise again. Over the last 3 months the spot price for 9ct gold has risen from approximately £8.45 /gm to around £10.15/gm at the time of writing. That’s a 20% increase in less than 3 months.WHY HAS IT RISEN SO SHARPLY? I am not entirely sure to be honest but clearly there is more uncertainty out there in the global markets than there was 3 months ago and is understandable given the American presidential election, BREXIT, weak oil prices and global stock...

We will do 2 months trade in the last 10 days of December and we have to have... Read More
