DYNAMIC INDEPENDENT COACH HIRE COMPANY IN GREATER MANCHESTER

Long established UK & European operator with impressive reputation & private & public sector client base offering individually-tailored professional services from large secure industrial yard premises with extremely well fitted on-site repairs workshop & office premises in excellent commercial location near major transport links. Comes with extensive inventory of premium quality vehicles & equipment included & HUGE scope to develop for 'hands on' operator or outstanding acquisition for expanding private hire solutions provider. Sensibly priced for genuine Ltd Co sale due to retirement after many successful years trading in same hands with early viewing strongly advised REF 1652

The subject premises occupy an outstanding and very convenient trading position among other independent operators in a thriving commercial development situated in the densely populated mixed residential and commercial satellite town of Levenshulme.

The town lies with excellent access both to major road and motorway links (A57, A635, M67 junction 1 and M60 junctions 23 and 24 etc.) and to the nearby centres of Ashton-under-Lyne (approximately 5 miles), the city of Manchester (approximately 3 miles) and Stockport town centre (Approximately 2 & half miles) in Greater Manchester.

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 limited company currently primarily conducts a professional and highly efficient private coach hire operation for all occasions in a substantial fleet of scrupulously maintained 16 to 70-seater passenger service vehicles which are to be included in the sale price.

The company offers its services for occasions ranging from regular school contract runs, private parties and day trips to UK wide and European excursions, with vehicle maintenance undertaken in its fully equipped on-site repairs workshop facilities.

“GB Coaches Ltd” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral client base, ranging from private individuals to schools, sports clubs and local council departments drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional vehicles and staff in order to fully exploit year-round local, regional and, indeed, nationwide demand. The business has been operating for the greater Manchester transport executive for over 15 years with up to 12 contracts at anytime.

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 2000 by the current “hands on” director, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of one full-time and five 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 diverse professional private hire solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and superbly located additional independent operator with a valuable name in the industry and an already impressive private and public sector client database, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

Offering excellent vehicle access for large passenger service vehicles, the company operates from a substantial, secure and well maintained industrial yard which naturally provides extensive unrestricted parking facilities for the company’s substantial fleet of passenger service vehicles.

Affording easy vehicle access by means of large, full-height sliding industrial doors, the premises also provide extremely well fitted internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises the main, open-plan “hangar” style garage workshop with concrete flooring, high ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting throughout and tool storage racking.

The workshop is equipped to high industry specifications with a full complement of well maintained, industry standard plant including compressor, lathe, gas welding kit, tyre fitting machine, brake roller and two high lifts etc., all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price, along with a fleet of scrupulously maintained passenger service vehicles which comprise:-
