The subject premises occupy an outstanding and highly visible trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the charming seaside town and resort of Morecambe, which lies with excellent access to major road and motorway links (A5105, A589, A683, A6 and M6 junction 34 etc.) on the delightful and ever-popular Lancashire coast.

This long established and highly regarded, family-run limited company is currently primarily equipped to high industry specifications to undertake a virtually ‘one stop’ range of bespoke professional upholstery and re-upholstery restoration, repairs and foam cutting services for all manner of domestic furnishings, trade furniture and associated soft furnishings employing traditional, handcrafted techniques and the finest quality materials.

The company is also particularly renowned for its specialist work for motorhomes, static and touring caravans, car seats and motorcycle seats, with both "on-site" and "off-site projects undertaken. .

“Shire Upholstery Ltd” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding, repeat and referral private and trade client base, ranging from private home and vehicle owners to hotels, public houses and catering establishments drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional employed or self-employed qualified craftsmen, the possible re-introduction of appearances at trade fairs throughout the region and beyond, and to operating extended weekend hours in order to exploit the full potential technical and sales capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, both through its own, informative dedicated website, and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 1996 by the current ‘hands on’ family director who would be willing to offer a 'handover' period if required and has laid the most solid of commercial foundations for any new owner over the years in terms of facilities, reputation and client confidence.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized, or larger allied enterprise looking to significantly increase its existing share of the professional domestic and commercial interior design and maintenance solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent operator with a priceless local name, an already long-standing and impressive client base a very healthy volume of ongoing and future projects.

The business is run on a day-to-day basis on a currently 'low-key' basis as he winds down to retirement by the founding director, with the aid of just one part-time assistant, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries to avoid disappointment.
