The premises are located on Union Road, Torquay, Devon which is a central trading area with convenient free and chargeable parking nearby. The main train and bus station are only a short walking distance and within easy access, are all main arterial road links.
BUSINESS
The business has been successfully owner operated for many years with a brigade of staff and is now being placed on to the open market due to retirement. However, the business is going from strength to strength and because of the latest ‘school uniform act’ there are even more opportunities which have been harnessed by the business. Additional schools are being regularly contacted to further increase their reach and to subsequently improve their already impressive turnover. With the embroidery and hot press transfer machines, we the agents feel there is great scope to expand on their current services by offering works and company uniforms.
