Highly Rated Wooden Garden Planters Manufacturer For Sale

Please quote reference B07047

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established and highly rated Wooden Garden Planters manufacturer, which is currently trading from a unit in Nottingham.

BR Garden was established by our client in 2015 and is only now being offered to the market due to our client’s desire to focus more on family.

The business specialises in the manufacturing of Wooden Garden Planters, as well as the delivery of orders and dealing of customer service queries and marketing.

The business is young with a great growth record and huge potential for continued growth and has already established a great website with good search engine ranking for keywords related to wooden planters. They have also established an eBay store with an £11,000,000 listing allowance. 

Personal circumstances have provided a very rare opportunity to acquire an already profitable business. 

The recent addition of new suppliers and possibility to expand on this allows growth in retail sales for a savvy marketer. They have also had more interest from commercial customers who we have supplied planters, soil, plants, and decorative stone, including charging a fee for fitting. This is another area where the business could see growth. 

Scope to improve;

This business has experienced huge growth over its first 5 years. A new owner could take this business to the next level by improving -

• Improving traffic to the website
• Expanding business to business orders and custom orders which they currently only get through a form on the retail website.
• Expanding marketing for new range of garden items from a drop shipping supplier. They have added over 8,000 new products to their range this year and have done very little to sell these items after adding the back office system at the beginning of this year.
• A vast increase to the range we manufacture of approximately 800 wooden planter variations.
• There is an opportunity to expand sales through upgrading orders to include plants, soil and gardening accessories.
• Look at bring back workshop and delivery van staff.
• There is also a huge opportunity for marketing and sales through social media. Other than the website, there is currently no activity on social media platforms. There is an opportunity to market products, build a reputation, increase the client base and sell products on sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Etsy, Amazon, etc.

The business is currently run and managed by our client. They currently have no staff as our client has had to reduce revenue for this year due to personal issues.

In 2019, they had 4 members of staff, 2 in the workshop and 2 in delivery vans. It would be achievable to get back to this level for the new owner/s in a reasonable short time.

The business hours are;

Monday - 08:00 - 16:00
Tuesday - 08:00 - 16:00
Wednesday - 08:00 - 16:00
Thursday - 08:00 - 16:00
Friday - 08:00 - 16:00

These are customer service hours. They have always had deliveries set off from 4am and the workshop works similar times to customer service hours. Overtime is though required in workshop during spring to process orders.

The business currently trades from an Industrial unit in Nottingham. The business is 2 miles away from Nottingham City Centre, and also has great transport links.
