The unique top 20 responds to the growing trend for UK drivers to choose personal number plates which reflect their chosen profession.
Until the end of 2003 around 6% of New Reg customers stated that their business influenced their choice of personal number plate. So far in 2004 – and with personal number plates available from as little as £244 at www.New Reg - that figure has jumped to more than 15%.
Out in front in the top 20, and perfect for an Information technology professional, is 'IT 1' at more than £100,000. 'DOC 7OR', 'BUY 1T' and '1 HR' follow closely behind at just under £70,000 each.
But it’s good news for money-conscious financiers who can grab 'C4 SHH' for under £2000.
Although the top 20 features some of the most valuable numbers currently available, many can be picked up for as little as £244 as marketing manager Markerle Davis reveals,
“With almost 20 million number plates currently available at New Reg the chances of finding the unique series of letters or numbers which are personal to you are very high.
“Generally, the fewer the letters the more valuable the registration. However the value of each plate to the customer ultimately depends on the individual - which means there are always bargains to be had.
“The registration process is quick and straight forward – we take car of everything - and the majority of plates are inexpensive.”
New Reg has been able to grow rapidly and in recent years have become a brand leader within our industry. The company has successfully re-invested the majority of our income into new highly trained staff and a wider range of exclusive stock numbers to enhance your choice even further. We employ more transfer and after sales staff than sales people, in order to ensure the swift processing of your purchase and high standard of customer care. From the moment you place your trust in New Reg they handle the entire transfer of your new reg. They coordinate the changes of all your vehicle documentation to display your newly purchased mark, such as the logbook, tax disc and even MOT if required, and return them to you within a matter of days. New Reg take pride in being the first accepted registered member of both the CNDA and MIRAD, in addition to being approved by the Office of Fair Trading Consumer Credit Department and every major credit card organisation. New Reg works with all these associations to provide an industry recognised reimbursement system in the event of transfer failure, protecting our purchasers and those whom we purchase vehicle registration numbers from. It is a fact that New Reg has sold more registrations online than any other company, facilitating additional convenience to clients who prefer not to speak to a sales person. The more traditional client may take comfort in the knowledge that our sales people adopt an advisory role over the telephone, rather than aggressive sales practice.
