Expansion potential
There is a good opportunity to grow this business in a number of ways. Firstly effective marketing could expand the production of trailers and relationships with boat builders and retailers both here in the UK and abroad. The maintenance of trailers could be contracted or scheduled with owners receiving notification of service dates in advance with either an onsite inspection or a collection and delivery facility. The rescue and repair operation could be marketed to create strategic alliances with Green flag, the RAC and the AA.

Competition / Market
The business does not advertise its services in a structured manner.

Reasons for selling
The Managing Director has additional horticultural interests but will be willing to stay with the company for an agreed contract period on a full time or part time basis.
