This company was originally established by a father and son team and now has been operating successfully for nearly thirty years. It has established itself as the leading supplier of chicken meat in South Wales and is also well known in the Midlands and South West.
The operation buys fresh chicken from six of the largest supplying slaughter houses who are mainly UK based. Upon arrival at the processing plant they are immediately de-boned and filleted. The meat is then either vacuum packed, gas flushed or bagged depending on the individual requirements of the customer before being stored in freezer or chill rooms prior to delivery. Nothing is wasted with the carcass being sold on to be processed into pet food.
The company does not sell to the large supermarket chains who demand fillets, breast and thighs to be of standard sizes and weights but sell to large wholesalers who in turn sell on to the catering outlets, hospitals, schools, takeaways, restaurants, hotels and retail outlets. Sixty percent of the meat consumed in the UK is chicken and there is an endless demand for the companys service and product. Sixty five percent of the turnover is generated by six or seven large buyers with the remaining thirty five percent going to end users who have been buying from the company for many years.

Opportunities:
There is a very significant opportunity to grow this business by taking on the requests to supply that are presently being turned away. The plant and factory has the capacity to handle additional demand and a new owner may well decide to expand into other geographical locations.
The national demand for chicken is enormous and a company selling associated food products would find this business an extremely attractive proposition as its acquisition would open the door of many new customers and facilitate cross selling.
Premises:
The business operates from premises that cover approximately 14,000 sq ft. These are owned by the company. The freehold is not available but a negotiated five year lease would be available to the buyer at a monthly rent of £5000.
The building houses an internal and external loading bay, one freezer store, one cold room, one de-boning area, offices, shower rooms and changing facilities.
Marketing and Advertising:
The company has been grown to a size suitable for the requirements of the key director and is constantly turning away business. They have no need to advertise for additional trade.
Financial profile:
The business is being offered for sale on a going concern basis, all financial discussions will take place directly between the vendor and all interested parties under the auspices of Turner Butler.
The company generates around £5,000,000 of turnover every year with gross profits being circa £800,000. Average stock holding is around £50,000 and the assets of the business would be extremely expensive to purchase for a start up operation. EBITDA is in the region of £100,000.
Employees:
One shareholder/director
One administrative director
One butchery supervisor
One warehouse manager
Twenty five skilled butchers
Three drivers
Support and Training:
