Business for Sale Overview:
The business was established in 2003 and has established itself as one of the premier supplier of new and used parts for commercial vehicles and trailers. The company will supply anything from a windscreen wiper to complete engines and gearboxes and the volume turnover is created by a fifty-fifty split between truck and trailer spares. While it provides parts for all makes it predominantly meets the demands of hauliers and service centers handling Scania trucks.

New items are sourced from a large range of wholesalers and the company holds a comprehensive range of items with an average stock holding of around £100,000. All stock is recorded on a Sage stock control system by item code and location. This insures a quick pick, pack and dispatch process on receipt of an order.
The business has built up a database of around three hundred and fifty customers with approximately one hundred and fifty being active at any one time. These clients are based all over the UK. Most orders are fulfilled within twenty-four hours of receipt with overnight couriers providing the delivery logistics. In many instances same day delivery is achieved.
