This is a superb business opportunity for someone to aquire a growing skip hire business and waste transfer station in the Greater Manchester area, close by to the M60/M62 motorwaty network. The family run business provides a service for commercial, industrial and domestic skip hire exceeding industry standards by recycling a minimum of 10% of the waste that they collect through their fully licensed waste transfer station. They deal mainly with contractors and own all of their own vehicles – they are not brokers and have no hidden or extra costs for their customers to incurr.
The business operates from a 0.75 acre virtual freehold site (971 years lease remaining) with a waste permit and environmental license in place. The site has operated as a waste transfer station and skip hire business for the past twenty years and has been under the current ownership for the last nine years. The site on its own is a valuable piece of real estate and could easily accommodate circa six small industrial units if required.
The company turnover is growing year on year under the family stewardship and they have assets of circa £100,000 including over 100 skips of various sizes, a small fleet of wagons and vehicles plus an excavator for yard work. The asset register doe not include the valuation of the circa 0.75 acre site.
They have built their reputation not just on price, but the quality of service, reliability, flexibility, and punctuality. They have a first class, easy to navigate website, which has the added facilty for customers to be able to book their skip requirements on line.
This would be a perfect bolt on as a satelite transfer station for a larger recycling company to aquire or it would be perfect for someone who is willing to invest and take to a new level.
