Business description
Turner Butler are delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity which has never been brought to the market for sale before.

This long established family run business has been operating largely in the commercial sector since 1982. The company has always enjoyed a good relationship with the many Builders and Construction Contractors they have carried out work for over the many years.

Specialising in the key area of landscaping creation and construction, this company has been the trusted supplier for many commercial entities to apply that all important finishing touch to a new development and, although the new construction side of the building sector has suffered a recent downturn, demand for the company’s services has still remained at a good level – a clear indicator to the level of reputation enjoyed by the family’s services.

The family has now decided to place the business for sale due to Father’s wish to retire and other family members wish for more time to develop other business interests.
