Overview
This is a well-run and highly respected family-owned tipper hire and waste disposal business, established for over 35 years. The business is now being offered for sale due to personal reasons.
A solid management structure is already in place, meaning minimal day-to-day involvement is required from a new owner. The current owner may also be willing to remain on a part-time basis, if desired, to support a smooth transition.
The company specialises in the nationwide transport of materials including aggregates, soil, and waste. It serves a number of blue-chip clients, providing a reliable stream of repeat and ongoing work.
Operations are supported by a fleet of seven modern tipper trucks, all less than 2–3 years old, with a combined asset value exceeding £700,000. These are maintained in-house at a leased facility comprising a yard and workshop. A new, state-of-the-art office is also due to be included shortly.
History
A highly regarded and well-established business with a long-standing reputation for reliability and service. The company has operated under the same ownership for over 35 years and benefits from repeat business from established blue-chip clients.
