The premises are located on a modern business park in North Somerset with very easy access to Junction 20 of the M5. The commercial client base, which accounts for more than 80% of annual sales, is spread throughout the South West, the West Midlands and along the M4 corridor and the company’s base is perfectly positioned to reach all clients within 2 hours via the main motorway and trunk road network.
BUSINESS:
This is a family owned and run glass business, which is a member of FENSA and CONSTRUCTION LINE, offers products for every part of the home, both inside and outside. From replacement windows and doors to heated bathroom mirrors, pet flaps and fly screens, glass splash-backs, balconies and entry systems.
The principal attraction to buyers will be the longstanding relationships with a significant number of housing associations, main contractors and house builders including major names. The quality, strength and modus operandi of the client base has ensured that the business has not been exposed to trade/bad debt risk and underlying trading performance has been consistently strong stemming from the excellent service delivered by a highly skilled team of surveyors, fitters and service engineers backed up by excellent sales and administrative systems.
The business is operated from a modern light industrial unit which has been fitted out to provide a large open plan office on a mezzanine floor, a ground reception to serve the retail market, a large workshop area, plenty of storage space and good quality ancillary facilities as well as ample parking. The premises are offered with the benefit of a new lease on attractive terms or as a freehold option.
