Business History

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this well established, well known and highly regarded business that was established by our client some 35 years ago and is only now regrettably being offered to the market due to our clients wish to retire. The business is proud of its 35 year unblemished record including 3 years occupancy of a London W1 studio and several trade show appearances eg, Weffa, Decorex etc. The present owner visits his foreign suppliers every year, the most recent visit being November and December 2006 at which time new collections were ordered and copies of which have already been presented to some `key' accounts. Due (in-part) to the TV DIY programs, wall coverings are enjoying a considerable boost in sales, a large percentage of which are the exclusive ranges available only through our clients business. The business is further enhanced by the 1 bedroom owners' accommodation located on the second floor. An ideal business venture we feel for those looking to break into this sector and early viewing comes highly recommended.
