There are some fascinating businesses behind the doors at The Brentano Suite Elstree, and CW Metals is a great example.
Specialising in precious metal recovery and processing, CW Metals helps businesses and individuals identify value in materials that might otherwise be overlooked.
That could be jewellery workshop waste, scrap precious metal or simply an old piece of gold that has been sitting forgotten in a drawer.
And for anyone wondering what that gold, silver, platinum or palladium might be worth, CW Metals has created a simple online valuation tool that provides an immediate indicative estimate.
But first, let’s meet the business behind it.
Meet CW Metals
CW Metals is a specialist precious metal recovery business with more than 40 years of experience in the jewellery trade.
Led by Craig White, the company works with customers ranging from luxury jewellery houses to small independent workshops.
Its services include precious metal processing, workshop waste recovery, scrap valuation, diamond reclamation and the recovery of precious metals from materials such as filings, filters, polishing waste and workshop sweeps.
What makes the business particularly interesting is that value is not always obvious.
Something that looks like waste may still contain recoverable gold, silver, platinum or palladium.
That is where specialist knowledge makes the difference.
CW Metals combines decades of trade experience with a personal approach, helping customers identify and recover value that might otherwise be missed.
Today, the business operates from Catalyst House at Centennial Park and is part of the professional community at The Brentano Suite Elstree.
What Could Your Unwanted Gold Be Worth?
You do not need to work in the jewellery industry to have precious metals worth checking.
Many of us have something tucked away somewhere.
It might be a broken gold chain, a single earring, an old ring that is no longer worn or inherited jewellery that has been sitting untouched for years.
Businesses may also have gold, platinum, palladium or silver scrap that has accumulated over time.
Users can select the type and purity of the metal, enter its weight and receive an indicative estimate based on current trade prices.
It is designed to provide a useful initial indication before a professional assessment takes place.
It Doesn’t Have to Look Valuable
One of the most interesting things about precious metal recovery is that appearance is not everything.
A broken or incomplete item can still contain valuable metal.
The same applies in a workshop environment.
Filings, polishing residue and other materials created during jewellery manufacturing may look like waste, but they can still contain precious metals worth recovering.
For businesses regularly working with gold and other valuable materials, professional recovery can help reduce unnecessary waste and reclaim value from material that might otherwise be discarded.
For individuals, the principle is much the same.
That old or damaged item may be worth checking before deciding what to do with it.
Why Is the Online Valuation Only an Estimate?
The online calculator is designed as a starting point rather than a final offer.
The estimate is based on the information entered and current trade prices.
Before confirming a final value, CW Metals needs to physically inspect the material so the team can verify factors such as its weight, purity and precious metal content.
Prices can also change, so the figure shown online may differ from a later professional valuation.
A good way to think of the calculator is as an answer to the first question:
“Is this worth looking into further?”
If the answer is yes, the next step is to contact CW Metals directly.
As part of our Meet a Tenantseries, we also wanted to know what CW Metals was looking for when choosing its own workspace.
For a company working with precious metals, security was naturally high on the list.
But the team also wanted somewhere professional, modern and welcoming.
Their first impression of The Brentano Suite was a strong one:
“We were looking for a safe, secure office, a friendly atmosphere and a clean, modern environment. As soon as we saw Brentano Suites, we knew we’d found exactly what we were looking for.”
And that feeling continued after the move:
“We’ve now been here for a couple of months and we’ve been so happy with the service. Everything has been efficient, professional and welcoming, and overall, we’re really pleased we made the move.”
It is a great reminder that choosing an office is not just about square footage.
Security matters.
Facilities matter.
Location matters.
But so does the way a workplace feels when you walk through the door.
A Business Community, Not Just an Address
CW Metals is one of a wide variety of businesses based at The Brentano Suite Elstree.
That variety is one of the reasons we created our Meet a Tenant series.
It gives businesses the chance to discover more about the companies working around them and the specialist services available within the Brentano community.
Sometimes that can lead to an introduction, a recommendation or even a new business relationship.
Other times, it simply helps people get to know their neighbours.
That sense of connection is part of what makes a serviced office more than somewhere to put desks.
In the case of CW Metals, anyone who has ever wondered what an unwanted piece of gold might be worth now knows there is a specialist precious metal business working within the same Elstree business community.

Yes. The CW Metals valuation tool allows users to enter the purity and weight of their precious metal and receive an immediate indicative estimate.

At The Brentano Suite, Finchley we take pride in highlighting the businesses that contribute to our vibrant community, and this month we sat down with Birjoo from S A Mortgages to explore the expertise behind their growing reputation. For many buyers the journey to securing a home or investment property can feel overwhelming, but the team at S A Mortgages works to make the process clearer and more manageable from the very first conversation to the moment the keys are handed over.
During our discussion they shared valuable insight into the challenges clients often face, from navigating complex lending criteria to planning long term financial stability, and how their practical guidance helps individuals and businesses move forward with confidence. Their approach is rooted in communication, experience and genuine care for the people they work with.
In this interview they reveal what clients can expect when working with them, the services they offer and why being based at The Brentano Suite enhances the support they deliver every day.
Who are S A Mortgages?
Can you tell us a bit about your business and what you do?
When you’re looking to buy a home or an investment property, you usually need to finance it with a mortgage and that’s what we arrange for you. We guide clients through the entire process from start to finish: from before you even start viewing properties, right through to completion when you get the keys!
We provide advice and support at every stage, including guidance on what price range to look within, arranging the finance, setting up life insurance, wills, and trusts. Essentially, a comprehensive service for everything associated with owning a property.
What makes your approach to mortgage advice unique?
I wouldn’t say there’s anything particularly unique that we do. We’ve built our reputation by being communicative, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. There’s no secret formula — just consistent service and reliability.
What inspired your career in mortgages and the launch of Source All Mortgages?
I fell into property straight after university, when a recruiter insisted it would suit me — and they were right. Over the years, I’ve worked across almost every part of the industry, including lettings, sales, property management, mortgage advice within a bank, and advising through an estate agency.
Experiencing each stage of the process from the ground up has given me a strong understanding of how the entire journey fits together. It allows me to support clients at any stage and answer questions that go far beyond the mortgage itself.
Sales was never my strength, but mortgage advice came naturally. Working on behalf of the buyer, guiding people through major life decisions, and giving them confidence that someone is handling things properly is where I found my stride.
I’ve now been advising on mortgages for over a decade and have handled hundreds — if not thousands — of cases. There are very few scenarios I haven’t encountered, and when we’re involved in a case, I can confidently say we’ll see it through.
There’s also a deeply personal reason this work matters to me. My father once lost out on what would have been his dream home due to poor mortgage advice. That experience stayed with me and continues to shape how I work today. It’s why I focus on doing the right thing rather than chasing the biggest cases or highest fees — and likely why we’ve grown largely through word of mouth.
If I can genuinely help someone secure a home and make a positive difference for their family, that’s a win in my book. It’s something people can look back on and be grateful they had the right person guiding them.
Mortgages may not be the most exciting topic at a dinner party, but helping someone secure their dream home never gets old. When I founded Source All Mortgages, I never set out to grow the business to its current size. I put that down to keeping our heads down, working hard, and providing sound, trustworthy advice — an ethos that remains at the heart of everything we do.
Why does mortgage advice matters?
The right mortgage adviser and solicitor can be the difference between making or breaking a deal and also determines how stressful the process is.
Having someone who can identify and resolve issues, and importantly, anticipate potential hurdles before they happen, is one of the most valuable things a mortgage adviser can offer. This can only come from experience.
What are the common challenges your clients face?
Everyone’s situation and scenario is different. Some clients are buying their first property, while others may be adding or removing someone from a mortgage, planning for inheritance, or dealing with property construction that many lenders won’t accept. Some may want to release funds for home improvements, sell their existing investments into a company, or buy a property at auction, which requires a very quick completion. Others may be remortgaging to secure a lower rate or releasing equity to purchase another property. Supporting family members to get a mortgage but not be named on the property may be what a buyer needs.
The list goes on — everyone’s position is different. Doing this yourself can be daunting, and it’s not always clear where to start. We handle these situations every day, so we will take on the challenges for you.
How do these services help your clients achieve their goals?
Owning a property gives clients both financial and personal stability. It creates a foundation for their future, reduces long-term financial strain, and provides reassurance that their children will have security and supported in the future.
How does being based at The Brentano Suite help your clients and business?
This is a very well-looked-after building with plenty of natural light, a good reception service, and a high standard of maintenance and cleaning. There are certainly cheaper offices available, but this makes a difference given how much time we all spend at work.
What advantages do The Brentano Suite tenants have when working with you?
Convenience and trust. Welcome to pop into the office rather than speaking to us over a phone or video call where you can meet the team too.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes S A Mortgages different from other brokers?
