BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Well Established Specialist Installer of Telephony & Computer Networks
Ref.CH044
Location Sheffield
Asking Price £ 150,000
This well established and reputable company was established by the current owners back in 1989, and specialise in the installation of both standard and bespoke telephone and computer networks nationwide to the SME market.
The business is ideally located affording easy access to the motorway network. From this central administration and storage point the company operates its network of mobile engineers to offer a fast and efficient service anywhere within the UK.
The core services of the business include:
• Supply and Install of Telephone Systems
• Supply and Install of Structured Cabling

Expansion Potential
The technology market is very dynamic and quick to change. Because of this and the need for business’s to ensure they are communicating and working as efficiently as possible, there is a constant demand for the services of this company. The company does not have a direct sales force at present and it is understood that a more proactive and targeted approach to sales and marketing, especially development of the company’s existing account database would result in increased turnover and profitability. The networked CCTV market represents a very large growth market and the company is ideally positioned to further develop this side of the business.
Key Opportunities:
The highly lucrative service and maintenance side of the business which currently accounts for less than 10 percent of overall turnover is represents a significant opportunity to a new owner. In addition to this both the telephony based public address and network CCTV systems are still relatively specialised services that the company needs to market more aggressively to the market place. Sales would also be further enhanced by taking on a salesperson who could target larger projects and ensure the business doesn’t miss out on any additional works from current clients be it moves and changes or new requirements.
