With the heightened political turmoil in the UK surrounding Brexit but also the US presidential elections and daily reports of terror attacks around the world – investing in physical gold has become the safe option. In an article written by Paloma Kubiak of yourmoney.com entitled; “Gold soars as investors seek safety: how to access the precious metal” the writer talks about the various ways in which investors can access gold and the number of established gold bullion and coin dealers in the UK. Whilst there are a selection of online bullion dealers (or Bullion merchants as Toby Walne from the Daily Mail likes to call us) to choose from it’s important that you feel comfortable with the company you are buying from. Some are online shops whereas and others are more aligned to gold investment. We are often referred to as a gold investment firm. We specialise in physical gold and silver that we either deliver to our clients or we store within vaults but we pride ourselves on the guidance and consultation we offer to clients before they commit to buying.
