Other information

Expansion potential:

• Business operations are not at maximum capacity so there remains considerable scope for an increase in workload. The Company has huge capabilities for expansion with the obvious benefits of increased turnover and profit that could be achieved simply by gearing operations in line with current market demand.
• For an acquiring company, additional margin can be expected through gaining access and expanding upon the already substantial Blue Chip customer database.
• The Company spends a minimal amount each year on marketing. A concise marketing and promotion plan would generate additional revenue.
• The business would make a strategic acquisition for a Company that wanted to brings its outsourcing of civil engineering works in house.

Support & training:

Within the Company lies a strong, resilient management team who are capable of continuing with the Business when the current Directors are absent for any periods of time. The current owners are willing to stay on for a pre-determined length of time (on a consultancy basis) in order to hand over the business.

Reasons for selling:

In 2004 the current Owners set a retirement exit strategy based upon key targets being attained within a maximum timeframe of 5 years. The Business is at a stage where these targets have been surpassed and the next stage in significant growth for the Company can best be delivered in the hands of a company with greater technological, managerial and financial resources.
