Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this thriving butchers business, which was established in 1903 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2008. The butchers is only now being offered to the market due to our clients' ill health. The business trades 5 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £240,000 per annum with a gross profit of 42%. Meads Village Butcher offers an extensive range of fresh raw and cooked meats and specialises is local Sussex free range meats. The business also supplies local businesses including market stalls, cafés, restaurants and pubs. We feel the turnover could be further increased by establishing a delivery service to the local area and perhaps embarking on a modest marketing campaign. There is also scope to expand on the commercial supply side of the business. The business is renowned for its quality produce, was awarded Sussex butcher of the year in 2009/10 and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. There is a website in place advertising the business and services provided. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and have been finished to a high standard throughout.
