Expansion Potential
The business has consistently posted impressive profitability over the years from a loyal customer base. There is spare capacity within the current infrastructure to accommodate significant growth, should a new owner look to push the business forward. There is no reason why a new owner could not significantly grow the business by being more proactive with the current customer base, as well as targeting new customers outside the region as the market it serves is large and strong. The business has the ability to enter new markets as it already has a sterling reputation in place.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business could benefit from a more strategic medium/long term sales and marketing campaign. There is a basic yet informative website and price lists, however to date there has been no active forms of marketing.
