Purves Philatelics is a relatively new business
(formed in January 2001) but one that is backed by years of philatelic
knowledge and experience.
Duncan Purves, a Chartered Accountant by profession,
has collected Commonwealth stamps for the last 35 years, specialising
initially in the reign of King George VI but, more latterly, embracing
all reigns to early QE II.
He and his long suffering wife Chris(tine) made their
first foray into the trade in 1990 when they launched C P Postal
Auctions which was followed some years later by Kentish Postal Auctions.
Increasing pressure of work forced the sale of the
two auction businesses in 1999 but the stamps won in the end and
Duncan was persuaded by Chris to make a life changing decision early
in 2001.
Our aim has always been to create a stamp business
with a difference. One where service and quality matter. Where you
can order in total confidence knowing that your order will be dealt
with promptly and that the condition of the material that you receive
can be relied upon.
