Established in 2006, the business specialises in removals, storage and delivery of antiques, works of art and fine furniture, clients include elite high end antique shops, interior designers and celebrities. Work is split 65% commercial clients with the rest being private domestic market clients.
Based in London the business is a full service operator offering a complete removal service of antiques and fine art etc. with storage facilities if required. The business has rapidly grown into a market leading specialist in its area of expertise for high end clients.
This is a very diverse and adaptable company, offering great technical support, logistics, scheduling, planning and consultation. The business offers a specialist antiques carriage service with all the specialist removal equipment required. Every care is taken to ensure property arrives in pristine condition.
This business is justifiably proud of its reputation for giving great service and good value, providing a comprehensive, convenient and competitive service that ensures clients return time after time. Staff are very professional, trained, highly skilled and dedicated to customer care, offering an unrivalled service.
Sage is used for accounts and invoicing, plus PDQ for credit cards. There is a large top quality database.
The everyday running of the business is currently in the hands of the manager. The company is well positioned for sale in as much as the vendor does very little on a day to day basis.

Expansion Potential
Being established for so long, this business is in the enviable position of enjoying consistent organic growth over the past few years, yet still having further huge growth potential.

This business has many high end clients, who appreciate the company's top quality service. There are many excellent avenues for growth, particularly to involve all the opportunities for marketing that have not been invested in. There is also no doubt that with a more targeted approach to sales and marketing would impact considerably on profitability.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
The business undertakes no advertising, business is gained on reputation and word of mouth recommendation. The vans are not liveried, there is no website and therefore no social media. The advantage of this for a new owner is that if investment were made in these areas, plus cross marketing to the client database it could open up a whole possibility of additional income and profitability.
