Now on the market is an established, relocatable courier & Pallet delivery service based in Seaham.
With a stellar 5* on Google Reviews, this business has an exceptional reputation and has built its success on its reliability, excellent service, 24/7 availability and value for money. It has built a loyal client base and so has a great foundation for a new owner to build on this reputation.
This business focuses on deliveries within the construction trade, with 80% of deliveries being pallets, plus items for roofers, electricians and general builders.
The owner is selling due to retirement and for health reasons.
The business is run from home in Seaham, County Durham but with deliveries in the north east and beyond, this is a relocatable business that would suit someone who can easily store a van.
There are two flatbed trucks sold as part of the business; a 2021 Citroen Relay with side access and a 2017 Fiat Ducata.
In addition to the owner - full time as a delivery driver - there is one freelance contract driver (non-exclusive) whose services are available when required.
As there is always a demand for deliveries, this business could easily be expanded with increased marketing, staff, and vehicles to meet demand.
There is also potential to manage the logistics of the operation better. When delivering to a particular location, there's always scope to find a load that needs bringing back, to avoid travelling with an empty van and therefore increase profits dramatically.
This business previously offered a wide range of services - same day parcel delivery, part house removals and light haulage - but now mainly focuses on deliveries within the construction trade. There is an opportunity to reintroduce more general services.
