Business History

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this superb outside catering business that was established by by our clients over 25 years ago, and is now being offered to the market due to their wish to retire. The business has been developed by our clients far in excess of their expectations and is a thriving concern being fully booked for 2007 with forward bookings in to 2008. The business benefits from a superb reputation for providing an unparalleled level of choice and quality of delicious food and liquid refreshments for up to 200 people. Currently the business is in such demand that our clients reluctantly have to turn down some orders for their service and as such there is massive scope for a new owner who with the vision, energy and enthusiasm could considerably increase the already impressive turnover. Our clients are happy to offer their assistance and expertise in the initial period following the sale of the business to enable the new owners to take off with a seamless transition. Early viewing is highly recommended as such fantastic opportunities as this rarely become available.
