About Us

With over 100 branches through North East England, Yorkshire, Scotland and Wales Ramsdens is the largest Independent Pawnbroker in the UK.

Established in 1987 in Stockton on Tees, Ramsdens has been trusted by over 500,000 individuals who required an instant cash solution. The successful introduction of buying gold, silver and mobile phones as well as the sale of foreign currency has seen Ramsdens develop into a recognised and respected high street retailer of financial services.

Ramsdens are proud sponsors of Middlesbrough FC, The Ramsdens Cup, Mike Dunn (Snooker) and Dave Prins (Darts).

We set the highest ethical and professional standards at all times. We want all our relationships to be based on honesty, respect and fairness and a commitment to dialogue and transparency.

We take responsibility for our actions as a relationship lender, both individually and as a group, within the communities we work in.

We value expertise and encourage individuality but work as a team. Our employees are our biggest asset and we are proud to be Investor in People (IIP) accredited.

We are passionate about delivering the best possible service to our customers and take pride in achieving this.

We look to replicate success, share best practice, learn from our mistakes and develop ideas so that we continue to improve what we offer our customers and become market leaders in our industry.

As stated in our TV adverts ‘’There’s a branch near you’’ so why not pop in, you may be surprised by how we can help.
