Bespoke Jewellery Manufacture and Repair Business and Popular Website in Kent For Sale

Hilton Smythe are delighted to offer to the market these two trading concerns, John Ramsay Jewellers, which offers goods to trade customers and is located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent and a very popular website www.tailor-madejewellery.co.uk, which offers bespoke hand-made jewellery to the public. The business was established by our client in 1997 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s desire for a well-deserved retirement. The businesses together generate a turnover in the region of £150,000 per annum, with a good gross profit. Our client offers a range of services including the manufacture of handmade bespoke jewellery including diamond rings, gold rings, platinum rings, engagement and wedding rings, pendants and bracelets, plus much more, as well as offering repairs and a full aftercare service. The business supplies stock to several jewellers within the area and further afield, as well as bespoke items made to order. The excellent website, which is included in the sale is well designed and very informative, offering beautiful hand-crafted jewellery, using only the best materials and all made with the greatest care and attention. The business has received excellent reviews and testimonials, which are available to view on the website. Our client has built up a renowned reputation within the industry for the very high quality of the goods and services offered, which has resulted in a very loyal client base, with a high volume of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. Should a new owner wish to re-locate the business to their own premises, therefore incurring no additional overhead costs, then this would increase the profits substantially. We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by extending the opening hours, perhaps by operating the workshop on a Saturday. A new owner could also embark on a modest marketing campaign advertise the goods and services offered. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is owner run and managed with 1 x technician and 1 x workbench rented out.

The business is open: Monday – Friday: 8.00am – 4.30pmSaturday – Sunday: Closed
