BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Freehold Commercial and Domestic Supplier of Grass Cutting Machinery and Equipment
Ref.AH078
Location South Wales
Asking Price £ 1,025,000 Inc Freehold
This successful family owned company was formed in 1969 and was incorporated in 1977.
It specializes in supplying all types of grass cutting machinery from the small domestic mower to large commercial machinery for heavier usage. The company also sells a range of small utility vehicles, ride on mowers, trucks, tractors, sprayers, spreaders, line marking machinery, shredders, chain saws and generators all of which help to form the core business. To complement these products the operation has a thriving market for fertilizers, line marking materials, herbicides, and grass seed which gives them a balanced offering covering the majority of requirements for anyone involved in ground maintenance.
The business also has a thriving service centre manned by experienced technicians who have been with the business for in excess of fifteen years and who are regarded as some of the best operatives in the industry. It has always been the policy of the company to make sure that their technicians are fully trained to the latest standards and regularly attend manufacturer’s courses on all new products. The service section is supported by a parts department which carries a large inventory of spares for most applications.
Regardless of location the business also offers prospective customers a site survey to be able to suggest the appropriate equipment to fulfill the demands of the job in hand. Soil analysis reports are also available with the suggested feeding programmes to improve the quality of the grass.
Expansion Potential
This business will continue to flourish for the simple reason that the growing season is getting progressively longer as the years pass. It is now accepted that mowing takes place for ten months of every year making the demand for machinery, servicing and ancillaries an increasing market.
