An outstanding experience

An outstanding experience! The entire team was consistently very friendly and extremely helpful. I would especially like to highlight one of the managers, Gyula, who is of Hungarian origin – without exaggeration, the purchasing process would have been much more difficult without his support.

Customer service is truly a top priority here. I can highly recommend Dreweatts and will gladly share my positive experience, especially in Germany.

Thank you!

Interview - Compliance Assistant

I interviewed at this company last year. It was a complete waste of time, why have an in person interview with someone if you think they are likely going to be bored of the role due to their university degree. Why have an in person interview yet question the future direction of a potential candidate. I wouldn’t have applied for the role if I felt I was overly competent. The hiring manager ended the interview with “I wish you well in your career and said I would hear back the following Monday.” I never heard back. It would have been nice to be told exactly why? I also felt that the interview had no structure, yes interviews are meant to feel like conversations. Yet mine was scrutiny over, I should go do other things with my life and why am I exactly pursuing the role I applied for. Mind you, the qualifications and background on the job description I had. This is not to judge or bring down the reputation of Dreweatts. Dreweatts also attempted to take down my review. Everything I have stated is the truth. None of you are “sorry” so I do not need a default response. This is to tell future employees about your hiring process to help them not waste their time, transport money, and to settle for a low salary.

Totally inefficient

Totally inefficient - and proved disastrous for the seller... Having bid £1,000 for some convertible pearl, and sapphire earrings - and approved the bid and funds through the bank - only to find that they awarded them to another bidder for £150 less through sheer incompetency of their IT systems. Seller of lot 96 on 15th January - sadly - you were undersold by a good amount......

5000 pound deposit to bid? Forget it!

This company has the gall to ask new clients for a 5000 pound deposit just to be approved to bid. Who has that sort of cash just sitting around? And why should a bidder have to waste bank fees and interest? Stop treating people like untrustworthy non-payers!
