BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Nationwide Same Day Courier & Light Haulage Contractor Up to 3 1/2 Tonne
Ref. GP222
Location : North Yorkshire
Asking Price : GBP 215,000
This business is an established, experienced Same Day Courier and specialist light haulage/logistics business (up to 3 1/2 Tonne), which prides itself on providing a highly personable service to clients who require exacting levels of performance on a nationwide scale.
Offering a reliable and trustworthy service this business delivers on a consistent basis. Drivers are smart and polite and wear company uniforms so they are instantly recognisable to customers.
Whether the item is specialist, confidential or it just needs to get there fast, this business has the capability and knowledge to deliver throughout the UK. Services include:
24/7 Courier Services
Same day light haulage services
Pallets (up to 4)
Documents
Multi drop/collection services
Storage
Fully insured
Up to 3 1/2 Tonne
The business can also provide additional storage services to customers as well as overnight pallet deliveries. It has a diverse range of customers operating in different sectors including the health sector, engineering, food industry, aggregates, legal and packaging.

Expansion Potential
This business has enjoyed steady growth and this trend is expected to continue based on ongoing recommendations. Demand is always strong and the company continues to grow and has the ability to handle more work and provide additional services including further storage etc. as it is truly independent.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business does very little in the way of proactive marketing preferring to rely on repeat business and word of mouth. It could certainly benefit from further activity in this area, particularly within a 30 miles radius of its current location as there are lots of opportunities to exploit. The vendor has chosen not to pursue this through choice.
