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.
