- Wide Variety of Products & Services
Established in 1995, this respected shopfitting business specialises in the hospitality sector, particularly the fast food industry. With over 30 years of experience, the company has designed and refurbished a diverse range of fast food outlets, from local chip shops to 300 cover restaurants, delivering high-quality fit-outs across the UK.
Although particularly recognised within the fish and chip shop industry, the business is not limited to this niche and has the capability, experience, and supplier network to undertake a wide variety of hospitality projects.
Run solely by the owner and supported by a reliable network of subcontractors, the business operates without fixed premises or employed staff, offering flexibility and low overheads.
Services are fully bespoke, combining functional shopfitting with design-led solutions tailored to the needs of independent hospitality venues. Over the years, the business has earned a reputation for quality, reliability, and attention to detail, underpinned by long-standing supplier relationships and consistent delivery to specification.
With the owner now approaching retirement, this presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a trusted, low-cost operation with clear potential for expansion.
Whether integrated into an existing construction or design business, or operated as a stand-alone enterprise, the business offers a solid foundation for long-term growth.
During a period of reduced capacity, the owner continued to generate significant income by referring projects to trusted subcontractors, earning a 10% commission and generating over £1.8 million in referred work.
With no premises or employees, the business is highly agile and low-risk, operating entirely through a network of reliable fitters.
Clients are predominantly independent fish and chip shops across the UK, with most contracts being one-off but secured through strong referral networks and long-standing brand trust.
Historically reliant on word of mouth and trade press advertising, the business presents a clear opportunity for growth through renewed marketing and outreach efforts under new ownership.

There is substantial opportunity to grow the business by reactivating previously successful marketing efforts, such as targeted press and print campaigns. The strong brand and supplier relationships are valuable assets that a new owner can leverage to re-enter or expand within the wider hospitality fit-out market.
With minimal fixed costs and an established network of subcontractors, the business could be scaled easily through improved lead generation, increased online presence, and potentially expanding into additional commercial sectors.
New ownership could also look to formalise and scale the referral-based model, which has already demonstrated high revenue potential with low delivery risk. Alternatively, the buyer may choose to bring fit-out capabilities back in-house or broaden the service offering to include design consultancy or project management.
