Business description

The business is a well-established and thriving specialist haulage company based in West Midlands. With national coverage and a solid reputation in the industry, the business operates a fleet of modern tractor units and specialist trailers, predominantly serving the scrap metal sector, as well as handling some brick and block work. With years of experience, strong client relationships, and a robust infrastructure, the business represents an excellent opportunity for an entrepreneur or an existing logistics company looking to expand. The business is now being offered for sale due to the retirement of its current owner.

The business was established over two decades ago and has since grown into a trusted name in specialist haulage. The company has built a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and excellent service, particularly in the scrap metal sector. Over the years, the business has expanded its fleet and service offerings, allowing it to cater to a diverse range of logistics requirements. The strong foundation and long-standing industry presence provide a competitive advantage for continued success under new ownership.

The business operates from a secure, well-maintained site. The location is strategically positioned with excellent access to major road networks, making it ideal for a haulage company with nationwide operations. The premises provide ample space for vehicle storage, maintenance, and administrative functions.

The business serves a variety of clients across the UK, with a strong emphasis on the scrap metal industry. The company has built long-term relationships with scrap metal processors, recycling firms, and industrial clients who require specialist haulage services. In addition, the business provides transport solutions for brick and block suppliers, further diversifying its revenue streams. Many clients have been with the company for years, demonstrating the high level of trust and reliability it has established.

The business has relied primarily on word-of-mouth referrals and its strong industry reputation to attract and retain clients. While limited online marketing has been undertaken, the company has an opportunity to enhance its digital presence through a professional website and social media engagement. Additional marketing efforts, such as targeted online advertising and networking within industry trade events, could further expand the business’s reach and customer base.

While the business is already a successful business, there are several growth opportunities for a new owner. Expanding into new sectors, such as construction materials, waste management, or general haulage, could generate additional revenue. Increasing the fleet size would also enable the business to take on more contracts and serve a broader customer base. Although the business operates nationally, focusing on regions with high demand for specialist haulage could open up new market opportunities

The business employs a team of skilled and dedicated professionals, including experienced and qualified HGV drivers who handle deliveries across the UK.

The current owner has been actively involved in overseeing operations and is willing to provide a transition period to ensure a smooth handover for the new owner.

The business is a profitable and well-established haulage business with a strong reputation in the scrap metal sector. With a dedicated workforce, a reliable fleet, and long-term client relationships, the business provides a solid foundation for continued success.
