The subject premises occupy an ideal and very convenient trading position with little in the way of direct local competition on the outskirts of the beautiful riverside market town of Hay-on-Wye (“The Town of Books”) with its world-famous annual Hay Literary festival, which lies close to the busy main A438 in a delightful and affluent rural area of Powys with a high volume of year-round tourist activity.

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

This long established and highly regarded limited company currently primarily conducts an extremely popular and highly efficient wholesale production, sales and supply operation of a wide selection of premium quality fresh savoury and confectionery bakery items.

The company’s products range from an excellent choice of artisan breads, baguettes and associated morning goods to indulgent doughnuts and Chelsea buns etc., all prepared daily in its extensively equipped commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest produce.

“MPJ Bakery & Confections Ltd” supplies its products almost exclusively to a long-standing trade account client base of retail outlets drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic “hands on” purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to still further expansion of the products currently offered, possible investment in additional staff and to operating hugely extended hours in order to exploit the full potential production and sales capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products and services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and ordering and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it is achieving in the hands of the current director, with the aid of just one experienced and motivated full-time assistant 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 wholesale craft bakery supplies and solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent operator with a priceless local name, a superb market-leading product range and an already impressive trade account client base, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.
