Business Profile
This very well established and highly regarded business was set up more than 40 years ago by the current owner as an importer and wholesaler of ladies fashion clothing and knitwear.  During this time the family run business has evolved and developed its own brands and styles of clothing alongside its suppliers own creations, all of which are very much in demand and instantly recognisable to its loyal customer base. 
The business has built up a sterling reputation based on its consistent supply of very high quality merchandise. The product portfolio and brand has developed over time and the business has access to a huge portfolio of product lines and designs, having forged excellent supply relationships with key suppliers. 
Pieces are carefully sourced from a now well established supply base (the business has very close relationships with designers/suppliers in China, Hong Kong and India). The business works with these contacts both directly and through their overseas agents to ensure they are up to date with new designs, plus to ensure the goods are to the required quality levels. 
The business has been meticulous in its approach to quality control and design over the years, which has helped to build the brand and the company. Due to this, these trademarked  brands are held in high esteem. They are very much the brand of choice for many trade clients and their retail customers when looking to purchase ladies fashion and knitwear. 
The company has developed an impressive route to market and currently services some 100 + major clients. These clients include Wholesalers, Independent Retailers, Department Stores and Party Planners throughout the UK and also overseas. Approximately 20% of current sales are exported to countries such as Germany, Belgium and Portugal. The business also has an agent in Ireland, however, it could certainly benefit from building a larger sales agent network throughout the UK and beyond. 
Now firmly established, this highly successful family-run business offers a range of high quality premium products that are sold under the company’s own instantly recognisable brand names. Staff are long serving, trustworthy and knowledgeable. 
The business currently operates from ideal modern premises where stock is held and distributed. The premises are large, fully equipped and could accommodate significant growth.
