Stanley Gibbons Group

The firm has had a number of ownership changes over the years. After becoming a listed company on the London Stock Exchange, it acquired Noble Investments in 2013, bringing the companies Apex, Baldwin’s and Dreweatts & Bloomsbury Auctions under the same umbrella. In 2014 the group then acquired the dealership Mallett.

However, it has subsequently sold all these brands except Baldwin’s and became a private company in 2022.

At the end of 2023 a new parent company was formed called Strand Collectibles Group and it was announced that from 2024 coin specialist Baldwin’s will run the group’s auctions and Stanley Gibbons will focus solely on stamp private sales (dealing), valuations and publications.
