Established in 2015, this is an exciting opportunity to purchase an innovative e-commerce company providing ethically sourced and eco-friendly products, including stainless steel lunch boxes, bottles, and kitchenware. It has reported an impressive 46% rise in total turnover in the last 6 months alone, and this growth rate is expected to continue.

This is a business on a mission to provide customers with highly durable products designed to replace disposables and plastic. It operates in an expanding global sector for sustainable products. Sustainability-marketed products now comprise 17.3% of purchases compared to conventionally marketed products, and the five-year compound annual growth rate for the category is 9.48%, almost double that of conventionally marketed goods.

The majority of the company’s products are made from stainless steel, as it’s the best material for lunchboxes & water bottles. This means they can offer a long warranty, which inspires confidence in the products and brand. This company has strong foundations and a loyal base of customers via its website, Amazon channel, and wholesale outlets, and also boasts a large following on social media, as well as a highly professional, engaging website that accurately reflects the company ethos and is immediately appealing to the target audience. The website currently achieves circa 3,000 visits per week. The company’s range is ethically sourced from manufacturers in China and India, and it has direct relationships with its suppliers. Suppliers are audited for social compliance, and products are independently tested in labs to ensure compliance with EU and US food safety laws.

Customers have confidence in the brand and trust in the quality and durability of its products. Comprehensive aftercare is offered with all items, including returns and spare parts. They also offer a market-leading 15-year warranty for their stainless-steel products. The rate of returned items is less than 1.5%.

Combining high-quality products and unique branding with the recent hiring of an award-winning marketing agency, the potential for significant growth is clear.

The purchase will include, by way of a share purchase, all of the issued share capital and assets in this highly attractive UK Limited company.

The sustainable and eco-living market is growing, presenting ample opportunities for expansion and innovation. A new buyer has the potential to capitalize on this trend by diversifying and enhancing the product range. Specifically, there is room for developing a dedicated children’s lunchbox range and introducing more reusable homeware items. The company already has an excellent presence on social media and proven success with Facebook advertising. They have successfully collaborated with other brands. Partnering with a household name organic company on a giveaway secured the Company 10,000 email subscribers and a significant boost in traffic. Forging strategic partnerships with like-minded brands presents an exciting opportunity for further growth and brand exposure.

Over the years, the company has received inquiries from large companies and event organisers interested in reusable products for their employees or events (including the Glastonbury Festival).
