A car expert suggests that a personalised number plate starting from £39 could be the perfect Father’s Day gift this year.
Jon Kirkbright, the sales director at Private Number Plates, specializes in buying and selling private registration plates. With over 56 million personalised number plates for sale, the company prides itself on offering affordable options, with plates starting from just £39 plus VAT and transfer fees.
Father’s Day falls on June 18 this year, and Jon believes that a private registration plate could be a fantastic gift for a loved one.
He explains, “Around 25% of our customers purchase plates for a third party. We often find that people buy them for special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. Buying a private plate for events like Father’s Day could be the solution to finding the perfect gift. Some families have multiple children who can all contribute to getting their loved one an amazing present.”
According to a Father’s Day buyer survey conducted by Create Gift Love, nearly half (44%) of shoppers budget up to £30 for gifts, and personalised presents rank among the top five most popular gift categories for the occasion.
The survey also revealed that 78% of people struggle to come up with gift ideas for their fathers. Jon suggests that a private number plate would be a thoughtful and personal gift that any parent would be delighted to receive.
He adds, “We also offer a transfer service, which means we can arrange for the number plate to be valid on the vehicle from a specific date, such as June 18. We can also deliver physical number plates to your door, so only a simple swap is needed before proudly displaying the new number plate on the car.”
Those looking to purchase private number plates often seek plates that resemble names, initials, or meaningful words, as well as numbers that correlate with special events like birthdays.
While Private Number Plates has a wide selection of plates available for purchase, Jon highlights that the company also has a plate alert system in place to help locate a specific number plate if needed.
He explains, “If customers cannot find what they are looking for, they can inform us of their specifications, and we can notify them if it becomes available. We can also auction any number plate from the DVLA, as long as it is legal and has never been issued before.”
Moreover, a personalised number plate not only makes a thoughtful gift but can also prove to be an investment if the recipient ever decides to sell it.
Jon explains, “I always say that private number plates should double in value every three to five years. Buying a private plate is a great investment opportunity.”
Private Number Plates offers a free registration valuation service, which can be easily completed online.
