Turner Butler is delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity.
This Family owned and run company has been organically grown by the Directors, who have applied their drive and dynamism over a period stretching some 23+ years. Sound judgement and working practices have been complemented by good management, and these qualities have allowed the company to grow consistently during this period, to the point where the business is now operating from a very sound and solid platform.
The company offers largely wholesale supply and delivery of cleaning consumables to their local region. The company also offers the sale, service and hire of associated machinery, which completes the “one stop shop” principle that the owners have always striven to achieve through their solid commitment to excellence.
The company offers a truly extensive product range, from Industrial and Commercial cleaning equipment, through to vehicle care and cleaning products including vehicle drive through products. Their full range offers workshop products and cleaners through to window cleaning equipment and products, plus a full range of janitorial products.
The company operates a SAGE software based payroll and accounting system along with hand held invoicing modules used by the company’s salesmen/drivers. These modules are also linked to the company’s central computer for stock control and ledger updates etc.
This business will appeal to a diverse range of potential purchasers and investors. However, a company operating in a similar or complementary sector may find this offering attractive either for geographical or turnover/profit enhancing reasons – or both!
