The business remained the same for several years, but with many of the original clientele being replaced by silver dealers who required secure premises for their valuable stock. This need was made more pressing by the outbreak of the Second World War.

The rapid expansion of this business led to many more dealers renting a strong room within the now world renowned London Silver Vaults and it has been in its present format since 1953."
