Business for sale

Business description

This high profile bathroom and tile supplier has built up its business by providing a huge choice of high quality bathroom and tile products to customers on an “ex-stock” basis. They are suppliers, importers and distributors of high end and exclusive ranges of porcelain, ceramics, natural stones, wood flooring, mosaics, bathrooms, granite worktops, vanity shower trays, tiling materials and tools to contractors, trade, retail and wholesale markets.

The current owner of the business has been in the industry for several years and has used his knowledge of the market to put in place a business with a superb infrastructure that offers one of the largest well equipped showrooms avaialble in the region, to enable customers to browse and purchase products and designs from several of the leading manufactueres within the bathroom and tiling industry.

As such the business has built up an enviable position in the region since it has established its business operations around the supply of bathrooms and tiles and accessories and has not found the need to extend their service offering into the installation service as a separate concern.

It is significant that this business has made such success of retailing the higher added value products and brands that it maintains exclusive contractual relationships with many of them and as a result often supplies these specific products to other retailers and installers, unable to establish a trading relationship themselves.

The showroom is a real strength of this business, as is its location. The products are displayed in extremely attractive settings with ground floor and first floor showrooms and a fully fitted and professionally racked warehouse, providing the customer with the fullest possible context for choice options that include floor and wall tiles, toilets, baths, showers, wet rooms, screens, cabinetry, flooring and an extensive portfolio of accessories.

The business is further supported by exemplary relations with key suppliers who have helped to ensure that client service and product quality is never compromised and that customers receive the highest possible quality of service, leading to the existing high levels of return custom. This commitment to suppliers and customers has underpinned this business’s abilities in service, quality and sustained business success.

The business has invested in technology and has an up to date administration and accounting system. The business utilises Sage accounting software and has a customised industry software system integrated with this that effectively manages sales, stock control and invoicing.
