Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this family operated
and very successful seafood processing business which is based in the South
West Of England. The business was established by our clients back in 2001 and
is only now being offered for sale so they can enjoy a well deserved
retirement.
The business operates from purpose built premises which are maintained to a
high spec and continual investment has been made on new equipment along with
fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the
sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will
not need to be spent for some time.
This business is owner operated and employs the help of 42 full time members
of staff and posted an annual turnover for year ending 30th September 2021 of
£3, 231, 953 with a gp of £1, 502, 924 (47%) which produces an average editda of
circa £500K. As a company the owners take their responsibilities very
seriously. All crab landed is from registered fishing vessels and they are
very stringent with their checks and procedures to make sure there are no
under sized or egg laden females landed. The company is routinely checked by
the Sea Fish Authority and have always been compliant. They process the crab
meat through their very own state of the art factory before sending daily
consignments up to the city of London amongst others. They process white crab
meat, brown crab meat, purse crab meat and lobster. Their products are sold in
many large Blue Chip retail outlets and leading supermarkets. The company has
achieved an (A grade brc certification).
We believe that should the company be acquired by another industry operator it
would thrive. This is a rare opportunity to purchase an established niche and
very profitable business which is a great base to build upon and as such early
viewing is highly recommended as this gem is not to be missed.
