Hilton Smythe welcomes to the market Nottingham Gauge & Thermometer Company. This specialist business was originally established in 1974 and the family run business has been managed well by our client. The owner is now looking to sell the business, due to the desire to take a well-deserved retirement. Nottingham Gauge specialises in made to order service for manufacturing gauges. Since establishment, the business has seen several expansions, to develop services available. This has allowed for more trade and an excellent reputation for quality products. The company generates an excellent turnover of around £412,000, with a gross profit of 60%, as of 2016 accounts. There is scope to increase this already healthy turnover. The business is currently running on word of mouth recommendations and repeat loyal trade, we feel the new owner should consider an advertising and marketing campaign to enable a boost in custom. This is a niche business that has very little competition, therefore there is huge scope to increase sales. A large percentage of the business is bespoke manufacturing to customer requirements, including computerised special dials. They also offer pressure and vacuum gauges, diaphragm seals, dial thermometers, ancillary products and other made to order produce. This is a business that has gone from strength to strength.
