The business is a long-established and highly respected distributor of premium hand-carved solid timber decorative components, including corbels, onlays, and mouldings. With over 40 years of trading history, the business is widely regarded as a UK market leader within its specialist niche, known for its quality, authenticity, and reliability.
The company offers a proprietary range of over 400 decorative carvings, designed in-house and produced in traditional styles such as Victorian, Georgian, and country farmhouse. Its unique selling proposition lies in its exclusive designs, high-quality craftsmanship, and authentic heritage styling, positioning the business firmly within the premium segment of the market.
The business serves a broad, predominantly B2B customer base, including joiners, furniture manufacturers, architects, interior designers, property developers, and restoration specialists, as well as high-profile end users such as stately homes, and film, TV, and theatre set designers. This diverse client base supports a strong level of repeat business and ongoing demand.
Sales are driven through a well-established e-commerce platform with global reach, including a presence in the US market, supported by efficient fulfilment offering next-day UK delivery and worldwide shipping. The business also benefits from a professionally produced 44-page brochure and an established network of trade distributors.
A key strength of the business is its long-standing international supply chain, developed over four decades, with skilled craftsmen producing to consistent, high-quality standards. These relationships will be fully transferable, with the current owner offering support and introductions to ensure a smooth transition.
The business operates from a unit in south-east Cornwall, comprising a 1,000 sq ft warehouse fitted with Dexion shelving, office space, and an additional 500 sq ft mezzanine. A comprehensive level of stock is maintained enabling efficient order fulfilment and immediate availability.
Operations are straightforward and can be easily relocated if required. A highly experienced sales manager of 25 years is available to continue within the business, providing continuity and stability post-acquisition.
The business is offered for sale due to the owner’s planned retirement.
