This was my fist investment of this kind and being a newbie I was a little nervous, however from my initial phone contact through to making my investment at Bristol I was assisted by very professional and helpful people.
I look forward to further investments in the future.

Selling Gold at Bristol branch…

I hadn’t sold gold before and would recommend the Bristol branch of this company. They replied to my initial email, promptly and were then very helpful on the phone. On arrival for my appointment, the lady spoke to me by name and was professional throughout. The process for selling was clear and payment was made into my bank account within the 2 days promised. Really good.

Would recommend British Bullion.

British Bullion take 5% off spot price, which is comparable to other bullion dealers, however, why i chose British bullion is because I could sell Gold face to face and not have to rely on the post.
I went to the Bristol office where the staff were extremely friendly and made the process very pleasant. I was promised the money within 5 working days and I got it on the third. Overall very happy and would absolutely use again.

A Great Company at Oldham

This company is exceptionally professional in every way. I was particularly impressed with the 2 staff members who assisted me. They were excellent and both went the extra mile to ensure my dealings went smoothly from start to finish. I am extremely pleased with the very high standard of products. I waste no time in highly recommending them. Thank you BB and I certainly will return.
