BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
High Quality House Removal & Storage throughout UK & Europe On Site Containers & Warehouses
Ref.GI046
Location East Anglia
Asking Price GBP 575,000
This successful family business has over 30 years experience in handling high quality UK and international removals and storage. The business offers a complete removal and container storage for home and business of which approximately 90% is private and approximately 10% commercial.
This well established, professional business has gained an outstanding reputation for reliability that has been created with the help of long-standing employees. Families have been helped by their staff to move home throughout the UK and Europe, giving advice on packing, providing professional packers if required, dealing with all paperwork for international removals.
The business is run from a secure site in East Anglia that currently has 400 containers on site that are housed in three linked warehouses including two purpose built which were constructed in 2010 and 2013.
On the removals side, this reliable and professional business has grown into one of the leading removal companies in the area, operating mainly in the domestic market with a small percentage of commercial work.
This business represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a removals and storage business operating in the UK and abroad with a long established successful track record, attractive growth and expansion prospects plus a superb reputation.
Expansion Potential
The business offers a top quality service. There are many avenues for growth including expanding the number of HGV vehicles and using additional marketing to attract more of the commercial sector, with the considerable impact on profitability this should attract.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has a well-designed and informative website that has grown organically on Google and performs very well in all of the major search engines for all appropriate search terms.
Awareness of its services is further driven by its sign written vehicles.
By far the most effective form of marketing for the company is the high levels of repeat business and strong word of mouth recommendation testimony to the remarkable levels of customer satisfaction the business engenders.
