A heartfelt thank you to all our clients and readership; to our delighted surprise, Bleyer are through to the final five against some huge players in the bullion industry for Bullion Directory’s 2018 Bullion Dealer of the Year Awards!
“The UK nominations saw three family dealers win 37% of the vote against some of the industry’s biggest companies. Well over 8000 nomination votes were cast – but who will win the final…. a David or a Goliath?”
That’s so true, we really do feel like a David against the Goliath’s in the investment industry! It’s either us or Bullion by Post, Atkinsons Bullion, Chard 1964 or GoldCore. Obviously, in the spirit of excellent British competition, we wish the other four companies our very best and are still very pleasantly surprised and grateful to such an amazing client base for voting for us to be in the finals. Wouldn’t it just be awesome if the little guy won?!

In a world order where it’s easy to feel swamped by the big guys, I guess what we may have over-looked, in this surprisingly happy result so far, was the importance to our clients of the relationship, family feel and individual care we’ve always loved providing at Bleyer. I personally have worked for Bleyer for 7 years now. There’s something about Caroline Peers and her attitude towards the team that stretches past business. As a team we’ve shared both meals out and jacket potatoes in her farm kitchen, enjoyed a relaxed yet hard working and highly respectful professional work ethic and nurtured care for the people who work for her and with her.
All of this seems to have infused how we also work for you our clients – I almost genuinely wrote lovely clients – because so many of you begin your connection with us over an in-depth phone call but often progressed to staying in touch with us as your Bullion Dealer. My best moments have been the meetings where we hand over your physical Gold and Silver in genuine pleasure of seeing someone begin a journey of self-enhanced wealth protection and independent financial planning. Many of you stay in touch and we very much value your thoughts and feedback – it’s how we grow as people and as a business.
As I wrote last year “I’ve often thought the business world is a self-regulating entity, which keeps its own perfect balance – if a company undervalues its customers they leave, therefore the company dies. If a company, which is also made up of people within itself, respects and values its customers, the company thrives. This, in turn, helps the people within the company, who – after all – are someone else’s customers. And so the circles intertwine.”
Now that winning this prestigious award may just be within reach – which does seem amazing in itself – we would love to humbly ask our customers, readership and family friends to help us by voting, after all, its word of mouth and family friends that have often been how our customer base has spread. We enjoy attracting people who think for themselves and who want to get their money ‘out the system’ away from the big guys into their own hands or storage away from the high street banks and stock portfolios.
Here’s a sample of what some of our clients say about us – it’s heartwarming and very encouraging to read; as a small business, it really does lift your spirits on some very busy days. If you spot your own review thank you so much for taking the time to give us such positive feedback. As you know we are a small family run business, often working against impossible margin odds against much larger companies who can bulk buy in a way we simply cannot. So, instead we focus on our strengths of offering bespoke caring customer service and a depth of Gold and Silver precious metals blogs and articles we hope you all thoroughly value and enjoy:
“This team really cares about providing customer satisfaction. Excellent.”
“What can I say, top service from a top company. Friendly transaction as always with excellent comms.”
“Great friendly personal service, will never buy from anyone else again. The handwritten note from the director tells you exactly what they think of their customers… 1st Class.”
“Knowledgeable individuals offering a warm, personal service – even to customers like me making small orders. Very happy to recommend. Oh, and the weekly blog is well worth a read too!”
“Would highly recommend. Quick and efficient service. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Prompt response, incredibly competitive prices and wide range of stock. They are easy to get hold of and very much have the approach of small local company, as opposed to a ‘faceless conglomerate’. Been a couple of issues with card payments, but they always respond quickly. I used a variety of dealers, but this is one I usually come back to, because of their excellent customer service and competitive prices.”
I place a much higher priority in life on value, not price. We need people and use things, not the other way around. In a working world: “‘Value’ may be one of the most overused and misused terms in marketing and pricing today. ‘Value pricing’ is too often misused as a synonym for a low price or bundled price. The real essence of value revolves around the trade-off between the benefits a customer receives from a product and the price he or she pays for it.” (McKinsey and Company).
We try our very hardest to bring our clients the very lowest prices we can, while still being able to operate as a small local business, serving all corners of the UK and abroad. If you’d like to take this opportunity to introduce us to your family and friends, the below introduction could help us become acquainted.

And for many of you it sounds like we manage to strike that right balance between a very high quality personal service and competitive prices:
“A highly professional and personal service. Excellent blog and info on the current state of the bullion market regularly updated. In my experience price invariably beats the big boys based in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Recommend you compare for yourself, but this is my one stop shop for all things bullion.”
“Great service fantastic advice and treated like a real customer not like a walking wallet will be buying regularly from here and nowhere else.”
“Seriously good customer service and very fast delivery. Stock is impressive and contains harder to find coins at decent prices. Will use again.”
So, if you’ve had a positive experience in either talking with us about owning precious metals, if you’ve valued one of our blogs or if you’ve purchased either one-off or repeatedly from us as a Bullion Dealer, please consider clicking on this link and taking a couple of seconds to make our day! We’d be absolutely chuffed to win as a small, family-run, UK based business offering personal and quality customer care. Thank you for your time and thank you for your custom.
From the Bleyer Team – Caroline, Dan, Jerry, Kathryn and Jennie.
