Quick efficient and friendly service. I bought the Number Plates as a gift and as I chose not to transfer onto a vehicle immediately I received the plates within a couple of days, followed by the certificate a week later. Very pleased with my purchase. Thank you.

I have bought personalised number plates from Premier Plates in the past and I have yet again been impressed with the service I have received. A special thanks to the transfer team in sorting the transfer of my existing personalised number off my vehicle and on to retention.

This was the first time I had made a decision to purchase a personalised number plate and to say it was frustrating is a massive understatement. I chased 8 particular plates on various sites, all of which proved fruitless.... 'no longer for sale, been sold, can't contact the owner etc. By this time I had given up on the idea, then trawling through my phone one 'lockdown evening' I saw a plate on the Premier Plates site and sent what I thought was a futile register of interest, really believing that the outcome would be the same.
Not so, I had a phone-call the next day from Tim, he had contacted the owner, he told me the price and within an hour we had agreed everything. The service from there was fantastic. I paid the money, the plates arrived within 3 days. The paperwork Involving the DVLA was taken on by them and was completed within a week and they then gave me the green light to use the new registration. From my experience I would not hesitate to recommend them. Where the others misleadingly advertise, but can't carry through, Premier Plates deliver!
