Leasehold Well Established Clothing Manufacturer For Sale

Business

Hilton Smythe are delighted to bring to the market (on a leasehold basis) this very well established and nationally respected embroidery, corporate gift and clothing manufacturer that is now one of, if not the biggest of its type in the UK.

Abstitch Ltd has been under the careful ownership of our client since the late 1970’s, having successfully grown the business to where it is today. The business has been placed on the open market for sale as our client looks to retire.

Abstitch offers a selection of business gifts containing an exciting range of products from writing instruments, desk and office accessories, executive gifts, leisure & lifestyle equipment, luggage and umbrellas, in-expensive novelties through to calendars & diaries. All the products can be personalised to ensure competitive edge over its competition meaning that whether customers choose a memorable executive gift or a promotional writing instrument, their corporate message is sure to be seen and remembered.

The business boasts many clients from blue chip companies, including Glenmuir, Aberdeen Football Club, Johnsons Apparel, Shell, BP, Quintet and Wilsons to name a few with many more clients on the books.

There are still areas of the business that could be improved or added to, in order to increase turnover; for example, the introduction of some new lines on the production side of the business along with an implementation of national marketing campaign via TV, Radio, Trade Fairs or PPC advertising on the likes of Google would no doubt add to the already impressive order book.

This is a tremendous opportunity to own this highly desirable turn key business, and early enquiries must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
