Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this hardware, DIY and pet supplies business, which was established in 1990 and which has been in our client's hands since 1999.

The business generates a turnover in the region of £146,000 per annum with a gross profit of 41%, derived from the sale of a range of hardware and DIY products, timber, pet and garden supplies, aggregates, greeting cards and gifts.
