Business for Sale Overview:
This is a great opportunity for a buyer wishing to live in the West Country and wishing to buy and build a well established debt free business operating in a niche market.
The business has been trading since the late nineteenth century when it predominantly manufactured nets for the fishing industry. Over the years they have diversified into other markets and now make specialist-netting products for the pest control industry that they supply to the wholesale market. They also make a range of nets for the retail gardening market.
The predominant use for the netting is for 'humane bird proofing' of buildings i.e, to prevent birds settling and roosting on buildings, and avoid the consequent mess, damage, noise, & health hazard. Mesh sizes are made specifically for sparrows, starlings, feral pigeons, and seagulls.
The gardening sector use a different type of netting to create framed netted areas for the growth of fruit and some vegetables. The company has also developed an easy to erect, light aluminum frame to support the netting.
The business is now the sole net maker in the UK and is frequently in demand to make special order bespoke nets that cannot easily be sourced elsewhere.
