How to apply for your jewellers permit
Please note that CPM cannot undertake applications or application renewals on behalf of our clients, but there are consultants listed at the end of this article who can be of service to you. What we are able to assist jewellers with is a “Letter of Trade” which is necessary to submit with your applications. Please contact your Sales Executive for this. A reminder that you will need to show that you are disposing of your waste correctly. You can obtain this proof via a letter from your waste management company. CPM can recommend EnviroServe or Waste Man.

Meet the Cape Precious Metals Directors: Jolandie Binneman
Jolandie Binneman is our Operations Director. Her journey with CPM began 19 years ago in our accounts department. From there she moved on to Dispatch Manager and ended up in the refinery as Production Manager. [She also had a flying stint as CPM founder Sharon Eades’ PA – but a successor was employed very quickly as this was not her zone of joy and genius!] She has only gone from strength to strength in her soul role as manager, and her commitment and outstanding performance is a shining light for her colleagues.
