My Own Business sales are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial and residential proposition of exceptional quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

Howells Sports started trading 33 years ago as a family run sports retailer ,then over the years gradually became a major supply chain in the embroidery Industry with numerous schools and businesses with repeated business year after year . Howells Sports currently has 4 super schools with contracted agreements and have been approached by 2 more super schools requesting their service,( serving approximately 6200 pupils)they also have a majority in the Rhondda region of primary schools and play groups with repeated business throughout the year. Apart from the schools they also provide a great team wear service for many local recreational activities such as swimming, darts’s ,football and rugby clubs with repeated business.
Over the years Howells sports have grown into a thriving local supplier of workwear for many businesses including the local NHS TRUST and many local businesses with repeated business from all over the mid Glamorgan area.
There is also the screen printing side which graters for all hen and stag parties, tours and birthdays you name it Howells can print it.
Howells Sports has a good reputation for providing a great service and going above and beyond for people who require their services.

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 sales and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form some twenty-seven highly successful years ago by the current ‘hands on’ director, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of three full-time, one part-time and a small pool of seasonal 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 print and design solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent freehold operator with a priceless local name, a superb range of market- leading products and services and an already impressive private and public sector customer base, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.

Fitted to superb industry specifications throughout, thanks to a recent and extensive programme of refurbishment undertaken at great expense by the current director, including a new roof and flooring, these substantial and scrupulously maintained TWO-STOREY freehold corner parade premises provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises an inviting and glazed, double-fronted public entrance into a bright, welcoming and deceptively spacious, open-plan customer reception and service showroom area with diffused fluorescent lighting throughout.

The main public area houses a full range of high quality, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display, racking, shelving, rails and mannequins for a wide selection of premium-quality sportswear, workwear and school uniforms in addition to a prominent, fully fitted point-of-sale counter area with full complement of payment facilities.

The main public area, in turn, affords easy access through to a fully fitted and equipped in-store bespoke embroidery design and production workshop area with 2 x 4-head embroidery machines, 2 x single-head embroidery machines and full complement of state-of-the-art software, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

The ground-floor premises also incorporate all the usual washroom/WC facilities, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of separate doorway access to the rear and ’trapdoor’ access down to a full-height BASEMENT LEVEL employed for general storage purposes.

The business premises also enjoy the benefit of air conditioning and double glazing, in addition to the added security benefits of steel roller shutters to the shop front and a full alarm system.

Accessed by means of its own separate self-contained entrance and staircase from ground-floor level, to the FIRST FLOOR the property provides an equally high standard of living accommodation in a stylish and recently extensively refurbished apartment with its own separate utility supplies.

The apartment consists of a spacious lounge and a fully fitted domestic kitchen housing ample work surfaces, quality wall and base storage units, fitted sink unit and a full range of built-in appliances, together with two double bedrooms, a further single bedroom and a fully fitted family bathroom/WC.

The private accommodation also enjoys the benefit of double glazing and gas central heating by means of a modern ‘Vaillant’ boiler.
