Removal And Storage Business For Sale

Business description

Established in 1984 the business specialises in household removals, also offering storage within their Worthing based warehouse, and self storage within their especially fitted eighty-one roomed Littlehampton warehouse. Advertising is currently restricted to Yellow pages, Thompson’s BT phonebook and Local Estate Agents, although the majority of work is achieved through word of mouth recommendations, including many regular recommendations from estate agents, as high standards of service are always given. Two trucks and a small van are used by the business.
A Mercedes eighteen tonner with sleeping cab and air suspension, and a Mercedes nine and a half tonner with sleeping compartment, both of which are in excellent condition with low mileage. Both trucks were custom built for the vendor by Robin Sparshatt.
There is also a nearly new Citroen Belingo used for local deliveries and quoting.
Both warehouses are freehold and also in excellent condition.
