Business for Sale Overview:
Turner Butler are delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity which has never been brought to the market for sale before.
Although this exciting and well managed business was established some 20 plus years ago, it has benefited throughout from the immense 22 years generic experience of the Director. Since its inception, the business model has been based on strong traditional values, with potatoes sourced from local suppliers. The potatoes, mainly baking potatoes, are then washed, graded and packaged ready for the wholesale and the catering sectors. The finished products are then sold directly to retail outlets, mainly market based.
The business is believed to have an active customer base of 100 customers, with 50 or more purchasing weekly. Repeat sales levels are high and this can be attributed by the high levels of personal service, coupled to the regular visits by sales personnel. This hands on approach to business has seen the business benefit from elevated levels of sales year on year.
The principal of the business, although satisfied with current levels of business and organic growth, feels that a new owner could expect to increase production by up to 50%, should demand be elevated through further marketing outreach.
