Modular Fencing Systems Manufacturer For Sale

Business description

Established back in 2001, this exciting and unique business opportunity was born out of the current owners vision of supplying new innovative yet environmentally friendly wooden fencing products to the market. With a programme of development aimed at evolving and extending their existing product range the company offers a real lifestyle alternative to many of the poor quality products being offered to the market today.

All product components are made in Great Britain and the company has a strong quality and environmental policy with regard to the natural products it utilises. All timber is slow grown which produces material of a far superior quality due to the dense and tightly packed growth rings. In addition a water based preservative is applied in a way that fully saturates the timber right to the core. Because of this and the confidence the company has in its products, fixings systems and services it is proud to offer a 15 year guarantee.

The company has a range of fencing and gate solutions all of which are hand crafted from the finest furniture grade pine and oak using timber that has been taken from carefully managed sources in a responsible way. There are several fence designs to choose from and each style, whether it be for a suburban, urban or rural location, is available in a variety of width and height options. All the matching posts are connveniently factory finished and packed together with the unique ground anchor and fixing systems. Because the system is modular all sizes can be accommodated and customers are able to create their own distinctive patterns should they so wish. Additional options such as posts with built in lighting are also available.

Traditional fencing systems require a great deal of labour intensive installation time. This new, innovative, Patent Office design registed modular fencing system means that this is no longer the case. All products are factory finished so there is no need for any on site cutting, painting or surface finishing meaning that installation time is a fraction of that involved in traditional fence erecting. Each panel is individually packaged and comes with all the fixings required to install it as well as an easy to follow instruction booklet.

Equipment:
The current owner had built a bespoke production facility, at considerable expense, within the existing site that comprised dip tanks, jig set ups , spray booth, bake room, and packing area He has since decommissioned this and moved out of the premises due to other business comitments but the “blueprint production ” has been tried and tested and could be very easily replicated at relatively low cost should a new pwner require this.



Customer Service:
Customer service can be measured by the fact the products the company offer have a 15 year guarantee. The company has spent considerable time and expense researching and testing the products in situ and are confident they will provide 100% client satisfaction.

Various after sales packages are available to maintain the visual impact and prolong the lifespan of these top quality fencing solutions. These include:

• On Site Valet- to remove, clean and replace panels and check all fixings.
• Refurbishment- take away panels, strip, repaint and replace (a replacement will be provided for the duration of the refurbishment.
• Replacement-after 10 years a new fence can be purchased for a discounted price and the original will be donated to the community.

Key Strengths:
This business may well be in its infancy with regards to trading. However the current owner set up the company back in 2001 and also registered the unique fencing design with the Patent Office over 5 years ago. Since then the owner has spent considerable time, effort and money researching, sourcing and testing the design as well as setting up and developing the current production site. The business has also set up a website, has a brand name, company stationary and sales presentation equipment. All the foundations are now in place to go out and actively promote the products and generate sales. There are no barriers to entry into this vast marketplace.

Other information

Expansion potential:

There are huge opportunities for this business. Boasting a unique and registered design as well as having the in-house manufacturing facility to produce the finished products means the business is in control of its own destiny.

The fencing market has not had any radical changes to product offerings for some time. This new innovative, environmentally friendly and eye-catching range of products represents a major opportunity for development in the huge home improvement/garden and leisure markets. As well as the permanent and traditional installations opportunities there is also demand for this type of modular fencing and gate system to be used on a temporary basis for exhibitions, sporting events, etc and an additional revenue stream could be developed through the hire/rental of such systems in addition to direct sales.

There is also an opportunity to license product sales through various distribution channels rather than sell direct to the end user if the new owner so wishes.

Competition / Market:

The current owner has developed a suite of very well designed and informative corporate communications (brochures, leaflets, sales pressentation cases, stationary, trademarks) including an excellent interactive website that performs well within all of the major search engines. The company also appears in the local directories both hard copy and online. With regards active direct sales and marketing activity the company has yet to undertake any due to current time constraints of the owner.

Support & training:

The Director will fully assist with hand over and training.
