construction site safety equipment provider

Construction Site Safety Equipment Provider Ref.JB015 Location Hampshire Asking Price £ 295,000 Established in 1999, as a sister company to another business already supplying plant and equipment to construction sites, this business has grown to become one of the leading providers of construction site safety equipment in the south of England. Founded on the need for increased safety awareness on construction sites, as driven by The Health & Safety Executive in an attempt to reduce injury and fatalities, this business specializes in providing fall arrest systems and secure working platforms. This business has three primary products available to enhance site safety – soft landing systems and safety working platforms with all options conforming to HSE regulations and installed by the business’s own trained operatives who are also able to give on-site installation training where necessary. Available on an outright sale or hire basis, soft landing systems range from a straightforward system comprising a number of soft polymer bean bags which can be easily moved around the site and from project to project, to far more sophisticated airbag systems comprising a series of interlinked cushions filled with low pressure air which expand together to form a continuous protective safety surface. Whilst these systems will not prevent falls they reduce injury if a fall occurs and can be used for all roof work or any place where there maybe a risk of falling or collision resulting in possible injury.

There is an excellent opportunity to build on the existing business levels and customer base of this company. With a strong demand for this business's products and services, a new owner contributing fresh ideas, enthusiasm and motivation will have every advantage of building on an excellent platform. With a significant volume of equipment available – up to 5,000 square metres of platforms for example, this business has the capacity available to meet significant demand. This business has perhaps not received the dedicated management required to take full advantage of its position within the marketplace. Much more pro-active marketing possibly involving a dedicated sales resource targeting Quantity Surveyors and Contract Managers within larger construction companies and Site Agents for the smaller operators would have a significant impact on turnover and profitability.
