THE BUSINESS
Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the market this extremely popular and profitable landscape gardening business.
Founded over 29 years ago by our client, the business is only now being reluctantly offered for sale as he wishes to retire.
The business has received recognition for its excellent design work from both the Chelsea Flower Show and The Royal Horticultural Society with show medals.
Its outstanding reputation has been built up over many years through work commissioned through personal recommendations, in the safe knowledge that the in house staff can be relied upon to achieve superb results.
The size of projects undertaken range from small courtyards to those of several acres. Whatever the size, each is given the same individual care.
The business operates primarily within a 30 mile radius from its premises in Berkshire, an area commonly known as the golden triangle, due to its general affluence.
The business is managed full time by our client, with the assistance of 6 full time on site workers and a part time secretary. Other specialist tradesmen can be employed on an ad hoc case by case basis , as and when required.
Advertising is principally via Yellow Pages and Yell.com in 3 major areas of Slough, Oxford and High Wycombe.
Turnover in the year to 30th June 2008 was £604,077.
We are advised that stock and work in progress is normally approximately £20,000.
