Business History

We are delighted to offer to the market this well established operated plant hire concern which has been in the careful hands of our client for the past 51 years when he set the business up back in 1960. The only reason this excellent opportunity is being offered to the market is due to our client wish for a well deserved retirement. Since our client took ownership of the business he has continually invested in high quality equipment, fixtures and fittings which are all bought and paid for and are included within the sale price which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The business generates its income by hiring out large plant hire machinery that needs an operator to use it. The main equipment to rent are JCB excavators which are rented out at £24 per hour, 45 ton cranes which are £400 per day or £600 with an operator supplied, telescopic handlers which are £22 per hour and 16 ton (6 wheel) tipping lorries which are £40 per hour to include a driver. They have an excellent level of repeat business and rent out to independent builders and to caravan parks for siting caravans. Our client informs us that they have an annual turnover of £225,712. This business is owner operated and benefits from 3 full time members of staff. The business attracts customers from within a 30 mile radius and our client is happy to lease the site out to a purchaser as he owns the freehold or it can be relocated within the trading area to limit disruption to turnover. We believe that there is further scope to increase turnover as it is run to suit and by having a salesman out on the road to bring more work in. Early viewing is highly recommended as this is a good bolt on investment that cannot be missed.
