Security Barrier And Fencing Company For Sale

This company operates in the wide-ranging market of security fencing. It rents out, delivers, erects and dismantles security fencing and barriers that are designed to stop people getting in, out or over from the chosen venue. The range of applications for this sort of equipment is vast and it makes the available market place large and diversified.
The business provides three different types of fencing to a wide range of clients. Crowd control barriers are used for channeling large numbers of people into and out of venues in an orderly fashion. Anti climb fencing is usually implemented around the perimeters of sites and prevents access to those intent on not paying to get in and finally steel shield barriers which inhibit the free viewing of proceedings from outside the ground.

The business has a large database of clients with a core customer base of thirty regular users many of whom are committed to ongoing supply contracts for two or three years hence.

The business works for a range of venue operators including Music festivals, Forestry Commission, Racecourse owners, Country fairs and local authorities.
