Retail

Furniture Stores

Established 2001, this independent family business design, retail, supply and fit bathrooms, kitchens and fitted bedroom furniture. The business offers a one to one service to customers ensuring they go out of their way to supply what is ordered. Conveniently located with easy access to road and rail links, this company services both the domestic and trade sectors and can boast a loyal customer base of private customers and developers and a steady retail order book that stretches months ahead. Specialising in a varied product range from £3,000 – £30,000, the company is competitive and offers excellent value for money for customers who can select from the existing company range of products or provide their own design for manufacturing, giving many options and no limit to what can be achieved. The business buys directly from a selection of distributors and is not dependent on any one supplier. Equally the business is not dependent on just public sales, the company also does work for developers and has major site projects in the pipe line to fit out in excess 24 homes The business has an excellent reputation for good service, excellent sales and high levels of workmanship and to support this, the business has fully embraced the latest technology, with a computerised design package. Used as very effective and efficient design and management tools, this technology has enabled the company to absorb significantly increased levels of business, without a corresponding increase in support staff, and, hence, overheads. This is a very well managed, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom business which combines the attributes of good growth and profits and a loyal, high quality customer base. With a forward order book stretching many months ahead, this represents an excellent acquisition opportunity for an existing operator within the kitchens and bedrooms sector looking for rapid expansion by acquiring this excellent operation. Customer Service: The company are proud of the service that is offered to customers. The results of this commitment are evident in the degree of return custom and the choice of this brand franchise by new customers over competitors Key Strengths: This is a very well managed business – built upon the owner’s extensive experience of working within the industry, supported by a highly motivated and committed team. It has been structured to supply competitively without compromising on service quality, which has been a key pillar in the company’s strategy from the outset. Having been in operation for over six years it is well established with a loyal customer base of predominantly local private buyers and developers and has an on-going order book, attracted by the business’s enviable reputation for high quality products, first rate service, competitive prices and reliability. This business is fully equipped with the latest design software enabling it to deal with far higher levels of activity than would normally be the case with its low overhead. Key Opportunities: With a strong demand for the products and services of this business, combined with a capacity to increase turnover, a new owner contributing fresh ideas, particularly in the areas of marketing and advertising will have every advantage of building on an excellent platform. There is certainly scope for continuing expansion – possibly by expanding product lines and for growth further a-field beyond the present area of operations. The owners recognise that investment in developing a company website would be a valuable asset.
