Business description

established by the current owners in 1975, this successful business has operated coach package holidays with its own customised, value for money package deals for an ever-expanding customer base for over 30 years. The coach company offers year round trips, various holiday packages including summer and winter resort holidays and local private hire plus self drive packages.
the business currently operates summer coach tours to spain, france, italy, austria and the french alps and supplies ski packages in the winter months to both france and austria. Using their own fleet of modern comfortable coaches the business has transported many satisfied holiday makers. Built up from scratch, the business has enjoyed continuous growth and maintains a highly respected brand name.
a consistently high standard of customer service has been the catalyst for the company’s continued growth throughout the years. in an industry that relies heavily on the status of one’s reputation the owners have maintained extremely high standards with regards to staff training and the efficiency of their operations. This in turn has ensured excellent relations with clients based on effective communication, attention to detail and fast response rates to customer needs. The benefits of such an approach are reflected in an impressive sales record based largely on repeat business and customer referrals. Customer confidence is further ensured by membership of trade associations caa, atol and abta.
this is an excellent opportunity to enter the travel sector with an established well-respected brand name. The substantial assets, well-trained staff and loyal customer base all combine to form an excellent opportunity for ongoing growth in this highly profitable market.
customer service:
the business pride themselves on giving excellent customer service, the widest choice, and competitive prices. The team of experienced staff with the latest technology ensures success in a competitive market.
key strengths:
the new owner will experience no difficulty in maintaining the success achieved by this business in recent years. The highly skilled and loyal staff will guarantee a smooth handover and ensure that high standards of customer service will be maintained throughout the transfer period.
the excellent reputation that has been built up over the past 34 years will be key to the continued success of the business and will ensure continued custom from repeat clients and customer referrals as well as providing an excellent basis for attracting new custom.
growth and expansion:
the current owners recognise that there is considerable potential for expansion to include a variety of different holiday locations.
key opportunities:
much of the company’s existing business is gained from repeat clients and referrals suggesting there is significant potential for expansion by attracting new customers. Up until now there has been very little investment in advertising, an avenue that would be well worth exploring in order to expand the established customer base.
in addition, a reputation built on wide-ranging knowledge of holiday packages and services combined with the considerable knowledge and experience of the company’s staff provides the ideal basis for new ventures into hitherto unexplored markets.
advertising and marketing:
the professional website was launched with a commitment to provide customers with details of the many holidays and excursions on offer by the company and is a source of much of the new business gained. with many years of experience the company is confident that they are among the leaders in this field of holiday packages.
