Business for sale

Business description

Advent Business Sales have been instructed to offer for sale this well-established and lucrative waste transfer station and skip hire, with tremendous further potential.

Established in 1989 as a can recylcing business, the current owner acquired the site in 1998 and started to trade as a waste transfer station as well as a skip hire business.

The business now has reluctantly been offered for sale due to the vendor’s personal commitments and possible plans to relocate.

Our clients have built an enviable reputation offering service with precision nationally.

The main source of business is the collection of aluminium cans from supermarkets and local authorities.

To compliment the workload, a successful skip hire business, which operated within a 10 mile radius of the site draws in further excellent income.

The premises comply fully as a waste transfer station, with total coverage in the region of 0.75 acres.
