Business for Sale Overview:

Following a working life in the European distribution industry, this business was established by the current Owner in 1998, to provide specialist training aimed at the distribution and training sectors. Modelled on the best European practice, this business offers the only international transport training available in the UK. Very early on, the Owner of this business realised that on today’s increasingly busy roads and with the demands placed on drivers by the requirements of modern logistics, anyone driving a truck as a professional driver required more than a mere licence. Also with driver training techniques in this country lagging behind those in the rest of the Europe, increasing EU harmonisation would lead to changes in the needs of driver training in the UK, an insight borne out by the introduction of the EU Training Directive, due to come into law in 2007.

Property Features and Assets:

This business currently operates from two training centres in the South East of England. Training centre 1: Leasehold, this is a modern unit with a ‘footprint’ of approximately 4,700 square feet. On a three year rolling agreement these facilities are available at an annual rent of £18,000 per annum. Rates are just over £6,000 per year.

Market Competition and Expansion:

This business has a very informative, well designed and easy to navigate web-site. A large proportion of its business is generated via word of mouth recommendation and by the high profile the business has developed within its target sectors. It frequently features in very positive PR in trade magazines widely read by key decision makers within its sector.
