Kendal is a beautiful and historic town just a few minutes’ drive away from the M6 motorway and located south of the beautiful Lake District in Cumbria which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Our client’s business is located just outside the main town with easy access to the neighbouring towns within Cumbria, thus being the perfect base to operate this growing business from.

Kendal always attracts a large number of visitors all year through, with many hotels, bars and restaurants, and the town is surrounded with residential homes and beautiful views.

Our client currently leases a good-sized retail unit on a small industrial estate on Shap Road just outside the town for storage of the stock and everything needed for this established business. 

The business can be relocated to other premises / existing premises / private accommodation / or work from home.

The business was started 6 years ago by our clients and during this time the business has substantially increased its turnover and profit year on year.

The business has built up an excellent reputation for providing exclusive professional and stunning crockery hire within the Lake District, Cumbria, Lancashire and throughout the North West.

The business provides top quality, contemporary fine china and stoneware, glassware, cutlery, serving bowls / platters and all table linen. Everything is delivered and collected from the event venue.

It’s a great lifestyle change opportunity to invest in Castle Crockery and to re-locate to one of the many beautiful locations in Cumbria.

There is also considerable room to expand the company further afield. 

This business must be viewed to appreciate the outstanding dedication and passion our client has put into the business, coupled with excellent reviews and much repeat trade, is certainly an opportunity not to be missed. 

The business has recently grown to a level at which there is more demand than can be catered for with current stock.    

The owners therefore feel that this is the right time for a new owner to take the business forward to the next level. They can see considerable growth potential moving forward.

Therefore, AJF Commercial Business Sales strongly recommend early discussions.
