Wholesalers deliver their products, which are then stored in clamps.

Where large orders are required deliveries are sub contracted out to a local haulier with bulk tankers.

Other information

Expansion potential:

Growth and Expansion:

The business usually concentrates on supplying to the smaller customers where margins are easier to maintain. There is a significant opportunity to break into the “larger order” market place that would give added volume to the operation and the ability to broaden the range of available products.
Increased tonnage would provide better buying power and help to create a competitive edge to the company.

Support & training:

The proprietor would be very willing to complete a full and seamless hand over to a new owner for a period to be agreed as part of the negotiation process. Having started the business he is very keen to see the business continue to succeed.
