The business is sole occupant of a building on an industrial estate in SW London just off a major A road with good access to SW London and across a bridge to west / central London. The estate provides ample secure parking for customers and staff.
The business relocated to these premises less than a year ago as they had outgrown their previous location. The building has a ground floor area of approximately 7,300 sq.ft. Within the last year, over £200k was spent building a 2-storey internal office facility, providing ample accommodation for the business and even providing the opportunity to sub-let a large office with its own entrance. Above the mezzanine offices there is room for storage. Usable area well over 8,000 sq.ft.
The workshop area is spacious with lots of natural light. There are 8 vehicle lifts, 1 of which is rated to 3.5 tonnes to allow for van MOTs. There is an extraction system for vehicle fumes present, as well as fitted gas heaters.
The estate has a fully monitored cctv and a security guard located next to their unit.
Turnover grew 40% between 2009 - 2010. This is a quality business with a bright future in the right hands.
