The business is currently run by working owner (part time) together with nine full time supportive and well-trained staff members - one of whom acts in a managerial role. Having run the business very successfully and profitably since 2008, vendors have now reached retirement age and have reluctantly decided it is now time to sell.
To facilitate a smooth transfer and continued success, the owners will offer an agreed period of training if required.
In our opinion this is an exceptionally rare opportunity for a discerning purchaser or working couple with good catering skills to purchase a superb business.
