Ref.JD003
Location Dorset
Asking Price £ 200,000

Started from nothing just over three years ago and now with over eighty customers – many of which are in the early stages of three year contracts, this company has to be one of the fastest growing businesses of its kind in the South of England.

This business offers a comprehensive range of linen and workwear rental facilities (mainly jackets) and contract laundering to clients in the hotel and catering sector including restaurants, hotels, youth hostels and bed and breakfast establishments. Operating throughout the Hampshire and Dorset area, its focus to date has been towards the Indian restaurant sector, offering high quality linen and a flexibility that makes this business work so well.

Expertly managed by two Partners, splitting the Operational, Financial and Sales and Marketing responsibilities between them, this business provides a personalised service and a dedicated ‘hands on’ approach that takes care of a business’ individual needs. Its continual re-investment in stock, technology and equipment guarantees an extremely high standard not only of laundry, but service too. Its 4,500 square foot production area is equipped with the very best equipment which allows this business to offer the very highest level of laundry service.

The cornerstone to the success of this business however has been its high degree of professional expertise, individual attention, consistent high quality of production, sound judgement, swift decision-making abilities and integrity, but perhaps most importantly tailoring all of its contracts to the unique requirements of its customers.

Expansion Potential
With a strong demand for its products and service and capacity to increase turnover, a new owner would contribute fresh ideas, particularly within the area of marketing, enthusiasm and outside influence to build on an excellent base.

Having established a winning formula, particularly within the Indian restaurant sector there is excellent scope to extend the geographical coverage of this business outside its current area of operation along the Hampshire coast and Dorset and Hampshire borders. The only real barrier to the success of this business is the requirement for on-going investment in linen to meet the ever increasing demands of its growing customer base.
