This company is a well known and highly respected Sameday courier business, that operates from modern offices and workshop in a large and busy City in, South Wales; close to every City amenity and in easy access to major trunk roads including the M4 Motorway.

The companys flexibility, resources and geographic reach can handle every demanding, same day courier need.
This robust and profitable business has been established for over 27 years. The modern administrative offices form a circa 700 square ft. portion of the overall premises area of circa 5,100 square ft. which also includes a workshop and maintenance area, with high ceiling and a four post ramp capable of reaching full extension.
Passion, quality, personal service and client relationship care have been the key to the success of this business and something the current owner takes particular pride in. All customers are treated individually and for many of the circa 60 regular customers, is considered their fourth emergency service.
It takes many years of unstinting and consistent reliability to have grown a reputation among some of the worlds best known brands for such service quality levels; but this company has achieved its envied status through hard work and commitment and it is now poised for greater success.

Expansion Potential

Exploit and grow the already embedded customer relationships
The company is growing and ready for formal growth investment
New enquiries are received every day
Investment in marketing could hugely increase turnover & profit

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business does not advertise and has a simple internet presence, which could be improved for growth in enquiries, but does achieve success in driving new business with leaflet drops.
