Drew spent over 20 years in high street banking before he had had enough and had to leave. As he knew one of the then-directors through Scouting, he started part time with Levertons in 2006, gaining experience in all of the branches, the mortuary and driving. In 2012 he became the full-time manager of our Golders Green branch, and his wife Deborah later joined as manager at Muswell Hill.
Drew has led the introduction of our tribute website service and contributes to the website and company publications. He likes the variety of the work as there are so many communities in north London, each with their own way of doing things.
Drew has been a Scout leader for over 40 years, and has also volunteered at the annual Royal International Air Tattoo and the A New Day music festival.
The service and help I received from Drew at Leverton was amazing, I had lost my mother and really did not where to start to honour her. They arranged everything through gentle questions and kept me updated at all times. Lesly, bless her, dressed my mom and styled her so beautifully for my last visit, I cannot thank you enough for that. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services, I was treated with compassion and my mom was treated with all the dignity she deserved.

Really lovely funeral directors. From the first phone call to the the end every memeber of staff were kind, respectul, caring and helpful. They made a very difficult situation bearable.

Leverton's handled the funeral with care and compassion and with a professionalism over and above my expectations. My only (small) criticism would be that communication post funeral was unclear (as in the arrangements for the collection of ashes). I was not aware that the ashes would be available for collection the following day and therefore was waiting on a call (either from Levertons or from the crematorium admin office). A week post funeral, I called Leverton's to be informed they were ready for collection (and had been from the next day).

We are very appreciative of Leverton's (James's) guidance and arrangements for my late Aunt's Service. Family and friends commented on how the Service would have been exactly what my Aunt wished for.

Levertons were extremely professional and helpful throughout the process of organising my father’s funeral. Their guidance and attention throughout was greatly appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Carmel was really helpful throughout the whole process of organising my sister's funeral. She liased with great care to detail with both myself and my parents and we were very happy with the professional service from Levertons.

I chose Levertons to arrange my wife's funeral purely on the basis of recognising the name, and I am glad that I did so. Everything went very smoothly and it was obviously a very professional operation. I was particularly grateful for their recommendation of a humanist celebrant, Kate Hobson, who exceeded my expectations.
