The companys aim is to provide a first class turnkey service from initial specification, quote, site survey to final installation.

The business is well established and easy to run with no bad debts and a good cash flow. There is continual work in progress with good growth over the past few years. This is an excellent opportunity for new owners to take over the existing business and obtain their database of regular repeat high profile clients, which the company has secured.

The business would certainly benefit from a new injection of energy and business acumen to maximise the many opportunities at its disposal. Through choice, the vendor has been selective about the volume of work he has taken on over the last year or so.

New owners with fresh ideas and enthusiasm will be able to take advantage of the opportunities available.

The owner has been happy with the amount of business coming in to the company over the past few years, however he believes that the business could easily double if new avenues of opportunity were explored, including the new automated gate sector that could represent new growth opportunities to a new owner.
