Freehold Commercial Vehicle Service Centre For Sale

Business description

Norfolk Business Sales is pleased to offer for sale this highly successful commercial vehicle repair and maintenance centre. The current owners founded the business when they relocated to the site in 1987, and have built up an impressive, loyal customer base that includes Palmer & Harvey, the Co-op and Wincantons.
As well as catering for heavy goods vehicles they also service a wide range of plant, equipment and agricultural vehicles for local businesses.
The two partners with the assistance of four full time fitters run the business with the partners’ wives carrying out the secretarial/admin work.
One of the partners is reaching retirement age hence the reason for sale.
We believe that this business/freehold property would suit an existing haulage company that is seeking a repair facility/vehicle storage depot in the East Anglian region.
We anticipate a high level of interest in this business/property and recommend an early viewing.
