About the Business
- Listing ID: #GM016
- Year Established: 1989
- Financing:
- Training:
- Facilities: The business operates from ideal premises on a well-known industrial estate. Total floor space is currently circa 14,500 square feet and comprises showroom, workshop, offices and warehousing/storage.
- Competition:The business enjoys high levels of repeat business, word of mouth recommendations and referrals from a vast and loyal customer base. This is further supported with an extensive range of brochures and flyers both in-house and via their leading manufacturing partners which are distributed via their external sales representatives and via e-shots. The company also has an informative website with e-commerce facility, not to mention its own E-Bay shops which are enjoying rapid sales growth. The company is considering social media to promote its wares.
- Growth: The company has access to further product ranges and could easily expand its product offering to incorporate even more complimentary items. Moving forward the business could easily look at setting up other depots replicating this highly successful model as the key supply chains are already in place. E-commerce is still relatively new to the company and it currently sells just a small selective range of products online, albeit very successfully. This could certainly be increased with further resource made available. The company currently uses two Ebay accounts, one for brand new items and one for second hand or damaged items. The reason for this is to monitor the account for second hand or damaged items which has a slightly higher risk of returns.
