Chard is shortlisted for UK Bullion Dealer of the Year 2016

Chard has been shortlisted as a finalist for the UK category of the Bullion Dealer of the Year 2016.

The award is sponsored by the Bullion Directory who recognise and celebrate the leading bullion dealers in five global categories.

Chard was voted UK Bullion Dealer of the Year 2015, a considerable feat against some of the largest bullion dealers in the country, with more than 89 UK companies listed in the Bullion Directory.

Lawrence Chard, director and senior numismatist, said: “We are honoured that our work has been recognised by both the industry and the public. We have been in the industry for over 50 years and coins and bullion are the heart of our business.

"Our staff are passionate about what we do, we don’t just sell coins, we know coins. We are not financial advisors but we are instrumental in helping investors to achieve successful outcomes. We fought hard to win the 2015 title and know that the competition to be named UK Bullion Dealer of the Year 2016 will be even fiercer. Like Churchill said, ‘We will fight them on the beaches’ (Blackpool beaches of course!).”

Chard was established in Blackpool over 50 years ago and has carved itself a strong and secure niche in the industry as the largest coin and bullion dealer in the North of England with a client base which stretches to all corners of the globe. The company carries a wide range of bullion coins and bars from mints from all around the globe as well as a huge collection of coins from ancient to modern.

The business has grown over the last decade and a recent £1m expansion plan has resulted in a high-tech purpose built showroom and office premises. Chard are constantly evolving and are developing new and innovative business strategies to sustain the company and gain a larger market share.
