It has a superb team of experienced staff from the top down with strong levels of in-house expertise to provide first class installations in terms of quality, fitting, scheduling and price.

Expansion Potential
The business currently operates on a regional scale (40 miles radius) but there is no reason why it cannot further develop its presence in the region and beyond should a new owner so require.
There is always a strong demand from domestic customers for this companys superior service levels. There are also good opportunities to branch out into the commercial sector should a new owner so wish. The housing sector is strong at present and large housing developments in the area are under construction and planned for the future. This business is ideally positioned to service this growing market moving forward as it already has the accreditations and approvals in place and could be scaled up to exploit the many opportunities at its disposal.
The current split of installations is 70% Windows and 30% Conservatories. The company could also further develop its product offering into hardwood, fascias, soffits etc., these are areas currently unexploited by the owner.
