Whether or not a personalised number plate is a worthwhile investment is really down to personal taste. Some people see them as a bit of a flashy thing to have and they don’t really see the point of them. However, there are a great number of us, celebrities included, who happen to think that a personalised number plate is an accessory well worth having.

It’s certainly easier for wealthy celebrities to afford personalised number plates. Some of the number plates that celebrities have are highly sought after, and therefore cost a fair bit. Celebrities often look for personalised number plates that reflect the field they work in or part of their character. For example, Paul Daniels searched for years to find the number plate “MAG 1C”; this clearly spells out MAGIC and is perfect for Paul as he is allegedly a magician. Nicky Clarke, the male hairdresser, has the number plate “H41 RDO”; this spells out hairdo which is obviously in reference to his job as a hairdresser. In keeping with referencing your work, the comic Jimmy Tarbuck has the number plate “COM 1C”; this is clearly descriptive of his role as a comedian.

Whilst we might not all be able to have a number plate that reflects our job, at Platinum Plates we have a search facility that allows you to search through our huge range of number plates allowing you to quickly and easily find your perfect plate. You may not be able to have a number plate with your job title, but you’ll certainly find something meaningful to you.

Most of us have at some point flirted with the idea of buying a personalised number plate, whether it’s for ourselves or someone close to us as a gift.

With more and more people personalising their cars with novelty air fresheners, themed car mats and vibrant car stickers, the opportunity to make your mass-production vehicle unique from the average Joe’s is more prominent than ever.

However, instead of just buying a new set of car seats, you can now buy number plates personalised in a way which suits you. Whether you want to show appreciation for your favourite football team or your car model, there are number plates available in a vast amount of options and prices. If you’re looking to spend two hundred or two thousand pounds, there’s a number plate to suit you.

Here at Platinum Plates, we have been providing excellent customer service to our customers since 1998. Once you have decided upon a personalised number plate that’s exactly what you were looking for, you can order it from via a secure phone line or by internet. If you have any questions about how the process works, feel free to email us anytime.

We also pride ourselves on going the extra mile, so you don’t have to. Platinum Plates will sort the DVLA registration number process without charging you – as most companies do to earn a quick pound. Our aim is to save our customers annoying inconveniences so they can get what they want and when they want it.

With so many different occasions where we have to buy presents for our parents, it’s no surprise that we struggle for ideas. I’m sure there are plenty of us who have rushed around before our mum’s birthday desperately looking for the right present, only to end up with some flowers and chocolates; sure that she’ll say they’re nice but deep down, she’s probably disappointed. It generally only gets worse when we shop for our dad; they generally don’t give a lot of ideas and sometimes their reaction to a gift doesn’t really show what they really feel about it. It can be really hard as we clearly want to buy our parents gifts that show how we feel about them.

There may be a solution to this problem. The next occasion that comes up, whether it be birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, a personalised number plate could well be the perfect gift. Platinum Plates supply a huge range of number plates. We provide a search facility that allows you to search on your parents’ names; you can then choose the perfect plate based on the search results. However, arguably better than your parent’s name, would be a number plate containing the letters “MUM” or “DAD.” Imagine a parents pride at being given a present with so much thought and meaning. We have a wide range of number plates containing the words “MUM” or “DAD.” With prices ranging from £156 for the number plate “AA59 DAD” to £29,680 for the number plate “MUM 3I”, there really is something to suit everyone’s budget.
