While much of the high street is shrouded in gloom as stores desperately cut prices, business is booming for Britain’s largest pawnbroker Harvey & Thompson.

The company has benefited from a 15% increase in the price of gold over the past 12 months, which has taken the cost of an ounce to £1,031, a rise of £138. Steve Fenerty, the commercial director, explained: “What we are seeing at the moment is really about the increase in the gold price more than anything else.”

Two years ago the company started opening new outlets called Gold Bars where people can take unwanted jewellery and other scrap gold and turn it into cash. It now has 53 outlets. The opening of Gold Bars followed heavy advertising by online scrap gold buyers which had a big impact on the market.

“They were changing the marketplace and we capitalised on that,” said Fenerty.

The research showed that instead of opting to have an alarm system installed 33% of Brits have used one or more of the following DIY security features to protect their home:

 - Scattering sharp objects on the floor next to the front door and windows

 - Setting up trip wires and ropes around the house

  – Propping up front/back doors with household objects such as chairs, pans and brooms
