Business History
Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this thriving haulage business, which was established by our client in 1983 and which is only now being placed on the market due to his wish to retire. Derek Wilson Carriers generates a turnover in the region of £300,000 per annum with a gross profit of 84%, collecting goods from Glasgow and Oban, and delivering to the surrounding areas as well as the islands of Mull, Iona, Tiree, Coll, Islay and Colsay. The business boasts many contracts with local authorities and Blue Chip firms and is an exclusive carrier to many areas. At present, our client can cherry pick work taken, offering a new owner huge scope to increase turnover. The business operates a fleet of 8 x 3.5-tonne vans, custom-built to maximise carrying capacity for ferry use. This is an ideal niche business with high profit margins and scope for further growth. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial come highly recommended.
