Furthermore it has just recently got involved again in the governement funded initiatives for heating improvements in private and rented homes. The scope to expand the business in this sector is significant as it has previously undertaken this type of work on a much larger scale.

Expansion Potential
There are many opportunities still available to continue growing this successful business operation. The majority of the businesses clients are located throughout the North West and as such the business has literally thousands of satisfied customers. All customer information is available on a database which is ripe for further development to maximise servicing and maintenance revenues further on systems already installed.

As already mentioned the business has just recently re-entered the government funded initiatives for heating improvements in residential properties (by request I hasten to add) and is already seeing a significant amount of new work come in via this route. There is huge scope to expand this side of the business further to cope with this demand as the company’s supply partners would like to direct further works their way.

Solid fuel fires and wood burners are becoming more and more popular due to rising fuel costs and this represents a new segment for the business to develop. It already has a unique internet based division to service the supply to this sector that is in its infancy but already showing good growth. The company has extensive knowledge of the solid fuel merchant network in the UK and could certainly tap into this market further if the resource was available to manage it.

The business is always establishing new relationships with councils and several new partnerships should provide significant growth opportunities to a new owner.
