Business description

100% share sale.

The company has been established for 32 years as a seller of standard and

flame-retardant sheet materials to end users in the entertainment and events
industries.  

Since its inception the Business has built on its reputation and now has multiple customers in film, theatre, television, exhibitions and events sectors.

There is no major reliance on any one customer and the company has a high degree of repeat business annually with its customers.  There is a low rate of customer attrition.

There is a strong management team in the business who have been with the company since inception and will remain in place post completion of a sale.  The MD would be happy to continue to work in the business post completion of a sale subject to a buyers preference.

Opportunities

The business development strategy has been centred upon referrals and recommendation from the Company’s existing customer portfolio.

The strategy has led to the Company growing organically over it’s history and without a sales department.

This presents a future opportunity for a buyer to increase  revenue and current client base, with the input of an effective sales team, with advertising and marketing capability.
