BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Specialist Construction & Civil Engineering Company
Food & Drink/Energy/Clay/Water Treatment/Chemical & Steel Industries
Ref. GF049
Location : South Yorkshire
Asking Price : GBP410,000
This very successful and highly regarded building and civil engineering company was set up by the current owner back in the early 1980s and has for many years primarily served large manufacturing companies on a local, regional and national scale. Almost all of their work is in the commercial/industrial sector. Many of their clients are instantly recognisable Blue Chip Companies in the food and drink sector, the energy sector, the heavy clay (inc. brick) industry, steel industry and in the chemical industry.
The company has considerable experience in the heavy clay industry having constructed new kilns for the brick and clay pipe industries, and regularly carries out maintenance and refurbishment of refractories to kilns and heat treatment furnaces.
The business has become a bit of a specialist in these fields and works closely with inhouse client or independent structural engineers to offer a full design and build service to their clients, this gives it a real edge in the market.
The company and staff have excellent internal skills and are able to undertake a wide range of contracts, varying from simple maintenance to larger new build and refurbishment projects in industries as diverse as Textiles, Engineering, Food, Clay and Retail. Project value is up to a maximum of circa GBP500,000.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business enjoys high levels of repeat business, word of mouth recommendations and referrals so has never had the need to advertise. It does have a basic yet informative website that could be updated but does no advertising/marketing at present.
