Overview of the Business:

Begun just four years ago, this business has rapidly established itself as a major provider of skip hire services within its local marketplace. Offering high quality skip hire this business covers South West London and the northern and eastern areas of Surrey stretching from Richmond, Surbiton and Kingston to the west across to Wallington, Banstead and Carshalton to the east and all towns and villages in between. Fully licensed, registered and insured waste carriers, this business offers a range of skip sizes varying from 4 yards to 12 yards servicing a wide range of domestic and commercial customers. The business has approximately 130 skips in all with the vast majority out on hire during normal trading times. Such is the demand for the services of this business it has recently cut down its geographical coverage to concentrate on fulfilling the demand there exists much more locally. This business has a strong commitment to its customers, providing a full and all encompassing service. Reliable and efficient, aside for the standard skip hire for a maximum of two weeks, this business also offers a ‘wait and load’ service and a ‘same day’ service whilst arranging ‘on-road permits’ where required. A grab service is also available. Certainly not the cheapest this business offers very competitive rates whilst still maintaining healthy margins. All waste is disposed of responsibly, and wherever possible recycled through local Waste Transfer stations.

Property Features and Assets:

The business also rents a yard locally on an informal basis which provides ample parking for its fleet of four lorries and space to store skips during the quietest times of the year. Including Rates the Rent is £200 per week.

Market Competition and Expansion:

Working to capacity throughout most periods of the year this business invests little in advertising, not even having a presence in the local Yellow Pages or Thomson’s Directories. The business has a small entry in the local Business Pages and supports local community initiatives such as local Crime Prevention magazine which is distributed freely, locally. The business has a very well designed, informative and easy to navigate website with an online skip ordering system which performs very well in all the major search engines for all appropriate search terms further supported by adword sponsorship.
