Business description
This business, which was established in 1991, is renowned for its workmanship which brings a flow of business from a customer base of approximately 30 main customers. It provides a complete service from design to installation of fire escapes, mezzanine floors, balustrades, and corporate signage.
It deals with national companies such as Pearce Construction and Ringway, who have a business unit on a local industrial site, and has done for several years. It will, however, accept commissions from individual members of the public many of whom are referred by other businesses, unable to meet their exact requirements from normal stock lines.

Expansion potential
The business has, in the past, employed up to 12 staff and taken on work accordingly. With the space in the premises and the available machinery this could be reversed should the new owner have the drive and enthusiasm to do so, or the present status quo maintained.

One owner is prepared to stay for a handover period and assist the new owner to expand the business.

Reasons for selling
There is a genuine reason for the sale of this business, both owners are now approaching retirement age and one also has an on-going health problem. As they have approached retirement they have scaled down the work accordingly, preferring to avoid the hassle of modern employment rules and procedures
