BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Windows/Doors/Glazing Installations Company Approved Contractor Status
Commercial Installer & Trade Supply Only
Ref. GK267
Location : Lancashire/Greater Manchester
Asking Price : GBP139,000
This very well respected and well established business has been successfully providing its clients with a comprehensive range of window and door supply and installation services for over 25 years. The company operates mainly within the North West region of the UK covering Lancashire, Cheshire, Staffordshire and into Yorkshire.
The company originally started out as a window manufacturing business but changed its model several years ago. It now has established supply relationships with some of the largest top quality manufacturing companies in the UK which has enabled it to concentrate on the supply and installation side of the business offering its clients superior levels of service and workmanship. Approximately 95% of current revenues are through commercial installation, the remaining 5% is for supply only.
Due to the company/staff coming from a manufacturing background the business has excellent levels of in-house expertise and skills to provide first class installations in terms of quality, fitting, scheduling and price. This has enabled the business to secure approved contractor status with many organisations in both the public and private sector. For this reason the business enjoys very high levels of referrals, repeat business and tender invitations which ensures it always has a healthy future order book.
Customers include local councils, housing associations and both large and small construction companies responsible for large numbers of housing stock. The company serves both the new build and refurbishment market.
Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business enjoys high levels of repeat business, word of mouth recommendations and referrals as an approved contactor in the sector. In saying that it could benefit from a more strategic medium/long term sales and marketing campaign as it currently does no advertising and has no online presence.
