Growth and Expansion:
The business has enjoyed consistent levels of business over the last few years from a very loyal customer base. However the region this business serves enjoys growing demand as investment continues to be made both on a public and private basis. The business has the spare capacity to easily expand its output should a new owner so require such is the level of infrastructure it has in place already. There is also the opportunity to increase the workshop further (planning permission already in place for new extension circa 650square feet) and redevelop the yard, which is not really utilised at present.
Key Opportunities:
As mentioned above future growth within this market is strong. To date the business, by its own admission, has been more reactive rather than proactive in its approach to the market place. A new injection of energy coupled with a more strategic sales and marketing approach would certainly increase future revenues and profitability as there are many more potential customers already out there! There are many avenues for future growth both within its current geographical area and beyond.
