Origins
For over 50 years, Gerrards Ltd has been affiliated to the jewellery and precious metals’ industry, thanks to its expertise and know-how in precious metals.
The company started by opening an office in Hatton Garden, London’s famed Jewellery Quarter and the UK’s Diamond trade centre.
Hatton Garden has been renowned since medieval times. The district comprises of more than 300 merchants and workshops, some of which are internationally established businesses.
The expansion of Gerrards Ltd began in the 1980’s, when gold and silver prices surged. The company started to receive enquiries to buy scrap precious metals in small quantities. From there, Gerrards diversified their activities by adding a range of precious metals to its regular purchases.
While building strong relations with jewellery manufacturers in UK and abroad, Gerrards also included buying and selling services for end-of-line and second hand jewellery.
In addition, the company began to supply new and semi-fabricated precious metal products through its jointly owned subsidiary Auro Argento PLC. The subsidiary company was later sold to a trade buyer.

Today
During the 2000s, Gerrards Ltd saw a rising demand for physical gold as an investment, and started to supply private investors bars and bullion products.
Reputation built over the years enabled the company to diversify its range of gold bullion products, satisfying private demand. From sovereigns to kilo bars, Gerrards started to offer investment products for any type of budget, and became certified by the LBMA and the LPPM in December 2013 for its professionalism within the industry.
