Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy scrap metal merchants, which was established in 1940 and has been in our client's careful hands since 1997, when the business traded from premises based in Heywood. Due to a compulsory purchase order in 2002, our client moved to the current site in Rochdale. The business is only now offered for sale due to our client's wish to retire. Britannia Metals current activities include buying scrap metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous, such as brass, zinc, lead, copper etc., which is then sold on to a smelting company. The business also purchases scrap cars and are able to offer factory clearances using the 2 x 7.5 tonne wagons. This generates a turnover in the region of £800,000 per annum, with a gross profit of 30%. Our client is confident that this will grow to over £1,000,000 per annum, as trade has been increasing substantially year on year. The business has a web site in place containing information on available services, location and contact details. The premises may be of interest to housing developers, subject to necessary planning consent. We feel this is an ideal prospect to acquire a profitable and growing business, which offers the new owner a walk in and trade opportunity.
