Advent Business Sales is pleased to have been instructed to offer to the open market this long standing woodworking business. The owner originally established the business in 1994 and after 14 successful years of trading has now reluctantly decided to sell due to his retirement plans. The business specialises in bespoke hand made doors, windows and stairs, which are all built from scratch. He carried out no advertising at all with work arriving which is unsolicited due to his excellent reputation for quality and reliability. The owner is currently only working a part time week but is still achieving £20,000 per annum sales and is turning down large volumes of work on a regular basis. The business is being sold together with all the required equipment plant and machinery, which includes the following: • Planer/thicknesser with tersa 12” x 9” • 3 speed spindle with automatic feed • Universal cross cut saw up to 4” depth • Morticing machine • Three headed tenning machine • Band saw • Chop saw • 2 dust extraction units • Numerous routers, sanders and clamps Stock at cost is in the region of £1,000 The owner is more than willing and able to conduct a reasonable hand over period to effect the necessary customer introductions to ensure a smooth transition and a successful future for a new owner.
