BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Wholesale Business
Confectionary, Drinks, Sweets, Crisps Janitorial, Catering Suppliers
Ref. AE054
Location : Manchester
Asking Price : GBP50,000
This very well established business has been trading successfully for well over 55 years in the area and specialises in the stocking and supply of a broad range of confectionary, sweets, drinks, crisps, janitorial, catering and disposable products to trade customers operating mostly within the education sector. Their client list is extensive as you would expect from a business of such maturity and the business can boast a customer base that comprises a regular base of some 60 active clients with no over reliance on any one customer.

Typical clients include colleges, primary and secondary schools and to a lesser extent retail outlets, sandwich shops, public houses and corner shops! The business can cater for any sized enterprise and as such offers a huge range of goods at extremely competitive prices.

The business has long established supply agreements in place and is a member of several buying groups which gives it a competitive edge.

The company has an incredibly good reputation in the area and beyond. The business is very service driven and is regarded very much at the top of the market for both stockholding, quality of products and delivery.

The business is ideally located to serve its market and it has many customers, both on a local and regional level. The business prides itself on its speed of response and proactive sales and servicing approach ensuring clients always carry adequate stock of mission critical items.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business has never really felt the need to advertise the business. Most of its work within the education sector has come through referrals and recommendations.

As already mentioned the business currently has no website and would benefit greatly from an online presence.
