Established in 1996, this business, a FENSA, IWA & CCL registered company, was purchased by the current owners in 2004 and has been providing home owners with quality windows, doors and conservatories for twelve years. In this time it has grown to become one of the leading double glazing installation and conservatory companies in the area.
Based in very well-suited, leasehold premises on a very small business park in Buchinghamshire, this business is able to deal with all glass and glazing requirements. Specialising in the provision and installation of uPVC windows, doors and conservatories to residential properties across a wide area, this business can confidently claim that no job is too big or too small. To date it has carried out thousands of successful double glazing installations with all products installed to the highest specifications and covered with a comprehensive ten year insurance backed guarantee.
This business provides everything required to plan the right solution for a customer, supplying and fitting the right windows, doors or conservatories to suit taste and budget, all determined during the free surveying and quotation process. As an independent this business has developed a network of top quality local suppliers to ensure the best products and service at the most competitive prices available.
With a skilled and reliable force of sub contract fitters to call upon, including ground workers and bricklayers to build the brick bases for conservatories, this business can call upon a wealth of experience and high levels of workmanship. With a superb relationship with its local manufacturer, this business can offer a range of finishes, designs and styles to suit all types of property. Only top quality components go into the units ensuring comfort, safety and security for all customers.
This business operates primarily within a thirty-mile radius of its large and well fitted showroom premises that has easy access and plenty of parking. Sufficiently distant from the other major towns in the county this business has little local competition for its services. With a large volume of properties within easy striking distance including many sizeable country homes this business is very much the first choice in its catchment area. With turnover of approximately £1.2 million for the 2008 financial year, this is a very profitable business and represents an excellent investment opportunity.

The cornerstone of the success of this business has been the high levels of customer service this business has provided over the many years of its operation. During this time they have established an enviable name for the quality of their products and for the honesty and reliability they demonstrate in all their dealings with customers and suppliers alike. This business provides free, no obligation quotations and site surveys and a highly professional, yet personal service, from start to finish. No job is too big or too small. This business is large enough to meet the requirements of the most demanding of customers yet small enough to be flexible to particular demands.
Key Strengths:
This well established business has developed an excellent reputation in its local marketplace for a quality product and high levels of reputable and reliable workmanship, at very competitive rates. This business is ideally situated – on a small business park, with easy access and ample parking, with good passing trade. As it is this business does very well from its own customer base located within a 30-mile radius.
With excellent cash flow, a healthy level of turnover and margins, this is a very well managed and profitable business.
Growth and Expansion:
Areas that the current owners have identified for future growth and expansion are in making greater use of the large customer base of 1400+ satisfied customers and selling more associated product lines into them. These products could be roofline, add-ons, flooring, heating etc. in particular at point of design and sale, especially with regard to conservatories.
Key Opportunities:
Performing more than adequately to date, investment in this business has been limited to the current Owners ambitions. With excellent foundations in place, there is an outstanding opportunity to build on the current business levels and customer base of this company. With a strong demand for this business's products, combined with a capacity to increase turnover, a new owner contributing fresh ideas, particularly in the area of marketing where spend to date has been limited, will have every advantage of building on this excellent platform. Particular attention could be paid to the trade sector where this business currently has very little business, i.e. local builders and developers etc.
In addition the public sector also represents significant potential. Local government spend is ever increasing and as more and more schools become their own budget holders there is an opportunity to exploit this market by tendering for schools, nurseries and hospital contracts.
With new environmental legislation in place, demanding higher specification materials, it is envisaged that there will also be significant organic growth for this business moving forward as more expensive higher efficiency products are ordered ultimately leading to greater profits for the Company.
Advertising and Marketing:
Local press and some local radio advertising have formed the main thrust of the company’s marketing campaign. However, satisfied customers are regarded as the best advertisement for this Company, providing a continual source of new customers and business. They believe that a satisfied and happy customer who receives a quality service is always the best source of new business and time has proved this to be a completely accurate concept. The business also has a web presence that might benefit from upgrade and produce even greater returns.
