The business operates primarily as a wholesale supplier to independent retailers, garden centres, and lifestyle stores, supported by a distinctive direct-to-retailer van sales model and regular attendance at key UK trade shows. The business supplies a broad and differentiated product range, including giftware, mirrors, carved wooden items, furniture, basket-ware, and decorative home accessories.
A defining feature of the business is its fair-trade ethos and long-standing supplier relationships, specifically working with independent and artisan businesses. The owners spend time each year in Indonesia sourcing products, working directly with small, family-run workshops, and ensuring ethical working conditions and fair pricing.
The business is highly profitable, cash-generative, and owner-operated, with low overheads, no formal credit exposure, and strong gross margins. The owners are seeking a sale in order to retire, with a target exit in February 2027. This provides an incoming purchaser with a structured, well-prepared acquisition opportunity and a supported handover period.
The opportunity would suit a trade buyer seeking to expand product range or sourcing capability, or a lifestyle investor/operator seeking a profitable, values-led business with strong growth potential through digital, operational, and geographic expansion.
