They are able to supply in a wide choice of finishes and fabrics from their unique extensive range and in any size to approximately 154 square metres. Their products are ideal for cafes, pubs, restaurants, hotels, patios, market stalls and gardens. The business has excellent trading relationships with other manufacturers around Europe, which helps to ensure that they are at the forefront of product design and innovation and always keeps them one step ahead of the opposition. The company has consistently achieved over the last 6 years an almost 20% compound growth rate and is now considered to be the market leader in the UK.

The vendor has decided to retire early and enjoy the fruits of many successful profitable years! The vendor has established this business in a niche market place and has become probably one of the largest manufacturers in the UK for healthcare equipment by providing a ‘just in time’ manufacturing process with products manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our client has secured many Government contracts which have been fulfilled over many years. They are ongoing and in writing. The company also owns all of its own tooling, which is placed around the country with suppliers of components. A patent is also in place for a particular product. Our client imports about one container per month of component parts on a very regular basis. The product range of manufactured goods includes: Homecare equipment Mobile and stacking commodes Stair & grab rails Mobile commode and shower chairs Shower chairs and seats Perching and kitchen stools Bed safety equipment Raised seats and frames Toilet frames Leg rests and over bed tables Step stools and trolleys Bariatric equipment Moving and handling equipment as well as a range of supplementary equipment The business employs a loyal hard working team of 40 people, who are rewarded with a policy of ‘unlimited overtime’. A management team is in place and the business could function with the vendor being away for reasonable time frames. The business will prove extremely popular to both business investors and to people within the same and similar sectors. Our client is able to compete with Chinese imports due to the advantages of: 1. A ‘just in time’ process providing efficient delivery dates 2. flexibility in production and changes in demand 3. Far superior quality and product design development 4. No huge sums of monies tied up with letters of credit with containers in transit, hence excellent cash flow 5. Small runs of new products 6. Speed of production 7. Surprisingly, our client is able to be very competitive on price – this is such due to the nature of the product which means importers are not able to utilise space between the products due to packaging constraints. Hence importers tend to waste space on containers which increase the price of finished goods – a major advantage for our British manufacturer. Hence our client has achieved high net stable profits over many years of successful trading. At present, our client is witnessing a surge in demand from customers who have now realised that the future is to work ‘hand in hand’ with our client due to the speed of response to orders and superior quality. In fact, c...]]> http://www.friday-ad.co.uk/AdRef/KP826O6CB/Ads/10/Special/VIDEO/Web/FullAdDetails.asp AdRef: KP826O6CB Fri, 1 Aug 2008 11:36:00 GMT Advent Business Sales have been instructed to offer for sale this very well established hotel with unusually high occupancy levels.

Since acquiring the business, the vendors have spent a lot of time and effort in refurbishing the hotel to its present day unique standard and concept.

The business runs on the lines of a traditional bed and breakfast, operating with 9 magnificent and well equipped rooms of which the majority have ensuite facilities. In addition, the ground floor area lends itself beautifully to a 40 cover restaurant area with a fully licensed bar. There is further capacity to seat a further 16 on the outside patio to the front of the premises, which is elevated to enjoy the panoramic views of the adjacent seafront. The best kept secret of the hotel is its recipes, which have been passed down in succession of owners.

Founded in 1985, our client has been very successful in the design and manufacture of equipment mainly involving wire wound products. Initial activity was the design and manufacture of equipment to process miniature electric motors used predominately in the aerospace industry. The impact of this has been significant due to vastly improved production output and, as importantly, the de-skilling of the previously manual input. This equipment has been supplied to companies throughout the world and, given adequate sale input, could be expanded further. Due to the physical size of the product involved, this equipment is usually bench-top mounted. Other products, again usually allied to the aerospace industry, include special insulating equipment, coil winding equipment and coil inserting equipment to satisfy a need where the production requirement is low but high in variety. This necessitates high flexibility and rapid change over times in order to justify the mechanisation option. Almost all aerospace applications fall within this category. In addition to stator processing equipment, the vendor has developed and manufactures automatic rotor winding machines. These again, have been supplied throughout the world. In addition to this, our client, from time to time, has become engaged in special projects, some of which are still very much ongoing. One particular project is the Axial Airgap Motor. This motor concept, although not new, has been restricted due mainly to the need for mechanisation for it’s manufacture. Our client has developed and manufactured production equipment for this motor type, the first ever in the world. There has been significant interest in this product, the most interest coming from the hybrid vehicle sector. Further advancement in this field has been restricted by the size of the vendors operation; the potential is on-going. All of the many, many drawings are on paper and would, benefit from being transferred to the Auto Cad system. A substantial usage of a sub-contract manufacturing system is also employed here. This could easily be transferred to in-house production if deemed to be necessary, with the exception of EDM wire erosion where the machine costs could not be justified.

Our client is more than happy to assist the buyer during a handover period and effect the required introductions to the customer base. Our vendor is supported by 9 very reliable drivers, who have been with our clients for many years and by 7 self employed drivers. These numbers are however, due to expand very shortly to 12 employed drivers and 12 self employed. This will have the effect of more than doubling the current turnover and should result in net profits being earned at the rate of £1,000,000 per annum. It has been intimated from a major blue chip client that our clients form a major part in their expansion plans and it is envisaged that within the next year an additional 26 full time drivers will be required. Once the business achieves this level of turnover profitability should be in the region of £2 million per annum.
