They are known as a strong buyer within the industry purchasing in bulk directly from the farmers. They have strong working relationships with their suppliers and pride themselves on being prompt and good payers within the trade. On delivery of the supplies they grade, clean, wash and package the product ready for sale to the wholesale and catering trade of which they have a large database of regular repeat customers. The business runs from a leasehold site with offices and grading shed with a separate chipping factory nearby.

The owner has decided to sell the family business after many happy and prosperous years in the trade. This would be a perfect bolt-on to someone already operating in the same or similar market place, or for anybody new to this market as the vendor has suggested that prior knowledge of the industry is not necessary to take on this business. The vendor has also stated that he will be prepared to stay on until new owners are happy that they can successfully manage the business themselves.
