Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Tovey News, a delightful entry level and easily managed business at a very keen asking price, For Sale due only to our client's other pressing employment priorities.

With a Paypoint service, there is also the possibility to expand into a parcel collection point for Hermes, DPD or Amazon and alike. Serving a busy local and wider community, the business benefits plenty of regular and repeat clientele, as well as much passing trade and 'stop and go' traffic. The addition of a website, social media, or more online presence would help the business increase sales.

Owing to other commitments, the business is run at a pace and lifestyle benefit to suit our clients.
