Business for Sale Overview:
Established almost forty years ago and based in the heart of Sussex, this business is one of the area’s leading contracts, installation, service and maintenance businesses operating in the fire protection industry.
An NICEIC, BAFA and ECA approved contractor, this business designs, installs, maintains and provides 24 hour emergency call-out for all kinds of properties, ranging from small guest houses, hotels through to schools and colleges but it is within the transport sector where this business is perhaps best known having developed a particular expertise in the specialist requirements of transport hubs, working either with the main contractor or directly for Clients which includes some of the biggest transport operating companies in the UK. Such is the demand for its services that electrical contracting, which for many years was a vital contributor to the overall turnover and profitability of the business, now very much takes a back seat to its fire protection work.
