Property information

Property:

Freehold

Lease terms:

The business operates from a freehold three-storey building with a fully equipped workshop on the ground floor. With office accommodation and storage on the second, the third floor offers scope for expansion.
With space available for up to ten tippers and two articulated lorries the current premises would also accommodate expansion of the fleet as well as extending the builders merchant offering.
The site has good access to the road network but most importantly to the depots and sites of all of its customers.

Other information

Expansion potential:

This business has significant growth potential. The size of the fleet has been limited only by the current owners’ preferences. There is considerable scope to expand the fleet, with additional work readily available and plenty of space to extend the fleet at the current premises.
Perhaps the greatest potential exists however in building on the limited builders merchant offering that is currently in operation. The business currently supplies sand and aggregates to a limited number of customers and it is thought that this could be developed to a far greater scale.

Competition / Market:

Competition: This company operates well as an independent, with a proven strategy to differentiate itself from its competitors by offering reliability and professionalism in all that it does. Marketing and Advertising: Being established for over thirty years with an excellent reputation for quality service at competitive prices and a solid base of loyal customers this business has no need to advertise, relying on word of mouth recommendation and the good PR it has built up over the many years of its operation.

Support & training:

Full business familiarisation and handover will be provided by the owner to ensure a smooth transfer of the business. It is considered that this will be a relatively simple event due to the appropriate measures already being in place to ensure its continued success.

Reasons for selling:

Having spent over thirty years running the business and building it to its current level the owner wishes to retire.
