BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Commercial/Passenger Vehicle Glazing/Glass Installer
Buses, Coaches, Trains, Boats, Plant etc
Ref.GK258
Location Yorkshire
Asking Price GBP 225,000
This well established and highly reputable independent business is a specialist supplier and installer of replacement glass to the coach, bus, rail, marine, horsebox and motorhome industries.

The vendor has built the business up over a 10 year period continually re-investing in the infrastructure of the company during this time. The company has recently invested in a fleet of fully equipped modern emergency response vehicles that enables them to service their customers when they need them most, when they are out on the road/track. The company provides a full 24/7 response/call out service to its customers and regularly travels throughout the UK and Europe to replace windscreens and glazing in situ. This is achievable as all of the company vehicles are fully equipped with all the necessary plant and equipment and it carries excellent levels of stock in-house. This service facility sets this business apart from the limited competition and it has created a niche in the market that has huge scope for future expansion.

The company has a very impressive level of regular customers who have large fleets of vehicles and plant that need to be kept out on the road. These clients include large coach and travel companies who value the exceptional response times and quality of workmanship and service this business provides. The company can repair, film and replace windows as well as providing a clean-up service to steamed windows. The company also carries out insurance work such is the quality of its workmanship.

The company is committed to quality. Staff are suitably trained and qualified, which ensures the smooth running of day to day operations.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
Having established an excellent reputation for quality reliability and professionalism the business has little need for advertising, relying on the fact that it is the preferred supplier to an impressive list of satisfied customers who use the company on a regular basis.

The company does advertise within a few of the leading coach and bus publications. It also has its own informative website and utilises social media as well as occasionally doing its own mailshots. This keeps the brand recognisable. However it could be developed much further.
