This business is an established men’s knitwear designer, marketing and manufacturing company, producing contemporary classic garments that have become one of the top brand names within the knitwear section of their industry, whose targeted buyers are nationwide high street independent retailers and quality conscious men of all ages, this very successful company provides a strong presence on UK high streets.

Continued investment has enabled the business to deal exclusively with one factory based in Italy producing a high quality product, with all the stringent quality control and attention to detail, that the Italian clothing manufacturing industry is acclaimed throughout the world for.

A private company established in 1993, the business now pride themselves on supplying customers with a quick response to enquiries, and providing quality garments at commercial prices. The knitwear operation has tremendous capacity and supplies a flexible range of quality: fully fashioned knitwear plus cut and sew knitwear. The factory employs a skilled workforce and is ideally placed to provide the quality and rapid turnaround for today's knitwear market, but without the lengthy shipping time normally associated with far-eastern suppliers.

Manufacture is from a factory in a picturesque location in Italy, which complies with ethical and quality audit requirements. Our clients design their own brand of patterned knitwear and only manufactures orders that have been pre-sold.

In fact, this manufacturer is proud to have been recognised for its styling, market appeal and quality as well as its endeavours to offer a contemporary line to the marketplace, having won the best supplier and service awards at the industry’s international show. With its brand name always appearing in the top five of all brand surveys within the industry and its versatile line retailing in many major stores in the UK, this enterprise can readily attribute its success to the loyalty of its repeat clientele.

The main strength of the company is the quality of its products and the best stock-service in the industry.

Other information

Expansion potential:

The world is their oyster as the saying goes and this is accurate with regard to the opportunities for this business, with the opportunity to promote sales in several new market areas, for example ladies and children’s wear, as well as opening new markets in new locations. The areas ripe for expansion for the company’s products could be the Middle and Far East and also to access the lucrative markets in the USA in far greater depth.

Competition / Market:

With very limited advertising and marketing to date and no website this business has grown to its present position primarily through the strong and well established brand name promoting itself among its loyal client base. This has resulted in strong repeat business and good word of mouth recommendations. The sales strategy to date has been a presence at trade shows and through 8 sales agents. There is no doubt that the right investment in sales and marketing and particularly in a professional website will have an exponential increase in turnover and profits almost immediately. In addition the overseas markets and in particular the USA, can also offer tremendous growth, with the right marketing approach.

Support & training:

The owners are happy to provide full business familiarisation, training and hand over for a period of time to be negotiated prior to the sale.

Reasons for selling:

The owners have both reached the age where they are considering retirement and would prefer to handover the running of this successful company to somebody with energy, enthusiasm and focus to take it to its true potential.

Trading hours:

Monday – Friday 9.00 – 5.00
