This dynamic and professional business was set up by the vendors over 10 years ago and has established itself as a leading manufacturer and installer of a wide variety of high quality window blinds. The company designs and manufactures in-house and supplies a broad range of customers both commercial and domestic throughout North Wales, Cheshire and Merseyside.
The company has a good level of equipment that enables it to manufacture in-house to exacting specifications and size. Products it supplies include Roller blinds , Venetian, Wood Venetian, Romans and rigid PVC. The company also supplies flat glass film products with solar properties but to date this only accounts for a small proportion of revenues.
In addition to providing a unique and bespoke manufactured product that meets very exacting customer requirements the company can provide a complete measure, estimation and installation service if need be.
The company has literally thousands of satisfied clients and enjoys excellent levels of repeat business such is the service it provides. Customers include large public sector organisations, builders, schools as well as the Great British public. The majority of customers are based within the North West region. The majority of sales are domestic.

The company utilises local papers to advertise as well as having its own informative websites. However most of its work comes via repeat business, referrals and through the external sales force who are highly cost effective. As already mentioned the business has a huge customer base that would benefit from additional target marketing. |
| |
There are many areas of growth available to a new owner. The company has over 10 years of information on file from historical customers (thousands!!) that is ripe to be put onto a database and developed. Indeed further investment in technology could certainly improve the overall efficiency of the business still further. The business could easily scale up its operation to meet increased demand. |
