Business for sale

Business description

This business is a well-established water cooler company that has been supplying and distributing high quality mineral water and dispensers to commercial and domestic users in the UK since 1995. All of the water is bottled at source and originates from the company’s own deep well spring in South Wales which it acquired in 1968.
This business has capitalised on the staggering growth in the consumption of mineral water in recent years, developing a brand that is well known throughout the UK. Whatever the requirement – an office water cooler, desktop water dispenser, point of use dispenser or bottled water cooler, commercial or domestic, rent or buy, this business has a unit to match. All customers pay an annual maintenance payment for each cooler in place.
All of the water is bottled at one source and originates from an ancient 50 metre deep spring well in South Wales. Naturally filtered water has been drawn from this source for literally hundreds of years. Neutral in its ph of 7.5, it is high in minerals, low in sodium and rich in iron.
With over 2,500 water coolers currently in the market this business is one of the leading suppliers of bottled water coolers in the UK. With a wide range of Clients, its customer base includes the office blocks and factories of some of the biggest names in industry and the UK High Street as well as good representation in the Public sector with a large number of hospitals and schools.
Despite recent consolidation in the marketplace this business has thrived – largely on its brand development and the availability of its own source. As one of the few independents in this position it offers a far more flexible and cost effective solution than many of its multi-national rivals.
With its fleet of 13 wholly owned vehicles this company services both the commercial and domestic markets. Approximately 80% of its turnover is commercial though the domestic market representing the other 20% is becoming increasingly important as customers avoid the need to pay the high prices or carry mineral water home from the supermarket ever again.
Having built the business to its current considerable level a new owner will have the opportunity to build on the extensive foundations that have already been laid by increasing the business’s distribution further using the guaranteed source.
