Other information

Expansion potential:

Our client clearly has a niche successful business which still offers excellent scope to increase both sales and profits by:
1. Doing mail shots to all the tree surgeons
2. Opening another depot in another part of the country
3. Employing a mechanic to carry out the servicing and repairs, which would allow more time for the vendor to concentrate on other parts of the business.
