BUSINESS:
The business specialises in the design and supply of made to measure fitted bedroom, kitchen and office furniture and fitments serving the Plymouth area and has generated a good deal of repeat business from clients over the years.
Plans and estimates are prepared following a visit to the client’s property and, upon receipt of orders, made to measure doors and mirrors are sourced from a small number of specialist suppliers on attractive terms. All joinery and fitting work is currently carried out by a self employed fitter operating from the workshop owned by the vendor. 60% of orders have traditionally been for fitted bedrooms, the balance for fitted kitchens and home offices. The business is believed to offer the only truly made to measure service in the Plymouth area.
