Cuttings The Jewellers and Pawnbrokers About Us Staff.pngThe Cuttings shops are now owned by the Kirkland family who have a long history in the Jewellery and Pawnbroking business. Paul has been working in S.H.Cutting Margate for 40 years. His father, Mr. Alfred Kirkland, worked in a Pawnbrokers in North London in the 1930s, starting there when he was just 14 years old. After the war, he continued to work in a London Pawnbrokers before moving down to Margate in 1961.

Paul joined the company straight from school and benefited from his father's wealth of experience. He continued to run the Margate shop for many years until in 2007 the family decided to expand and opened Cuttings in Ramsgate.

The Margate shop continues to be run by the shop manager, Robert Haynes, who has been an invaluable asset to the company for well over 25 years. With his expert knowledge in diamonds, as well as a wealth of experience in all aspects of the jewellery business, Mr. Haynes can offer expert advice whether buying or selling. In the Ramsgate shop, Paul is joined by his son James, bringing the third generation of the family into the Jewellery and Pawnbroking business. Over the years, the Cuttings shop has built up an enviable customer base with clients travelling from Surrey, Sussex, London and even further afield.

Pawnbroking

Pawnbroking is quick, simple and easy and is now viewed as a competitive financial service, utilising one's assets in a sensible and controlled way. Customers use their own goods as security for a very flexible loan, which can be repaid anytime that suits, from just a few days to 6 months. Interest is only paid for the amount of time used. There are no credit checks - if you own the goods, then the money is yours.
