Sensibly priced for genuine Ltd Co sale due to retirement after many successful years trading in same hands with viewing highly recommended REF 2364

Though by its very nature eminently relocatable throughout the region if required, the company currently operates from premises which occupy an ideal and very convenient trading position on the outskirts of the village of Cullingworth, which lies with excellent access both to major road links (A629, A650 and A6033 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Keighley (approximately 3 miles) and the city of Bradford with its international airport (approximately 7 miles) in West Yorkshire.

We are delighted to present this excellent opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established and highly regarded, family-run limited company currently primarily conducts an extremely useful, popular and highly efficient private and executive coach and bus hire operation for all occasions in a fleet of five, scrupulously maintained and fully signwritten 55 to 80-seater single and double-decker passenger service vehicles which are to be included in the sale price.

The company offers its services for occasions ranging from airport, rail, ferry and corporate transfers to weddings, tours and school trips throughout the UK, with international travel contracts also undertaken.

“City Travel Yorkshire Ltd” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral client base in the private, corporate and public sectors drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with almost unlimited scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional vehicles and staff in order to fully exploit year-round national and, indeed, international demand.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to further development of its web and social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form almost thirty successful years ago by the two current family directors, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of three full-time and three part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the professional private hire solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional specialist independent operator with a priceless local name and an already impressive client database, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.
