Bespoke Blind & Shutter in Bexhill, East Sussex

The business has been operating since 1980 and has been in the hands of our client since 2009.  It is offered for sale at this time so the owners can concentrate on another business.

It supplies and fits a range of Shutters, Conservatory Blinds, Velux, Awnings, Dutch Canopies, Roller Blinds, Vertical Blinds, Woodweave, Roman, Pleated, etc.  There are both commercial and residential clients and the business has an outstanding reputation with the majority of orders coming from referrals and recommendations.  Currently all blinds are bought in from suppliers readymade but vertical blinds were previously made in-house and this could be resumed in the future should the new owner desire.

The current owners do a negligible amount of advertising and open very limited hours and so there great potential to increase sales dramatically.  Full training and hand-over period will be provided if required.
