CASE STUDY FURNITURE SUPPLIER

THE OPPORTUNITY Initially incorporated in 1981, our client is a supplier of premium quality tableware, equipment and furniture. As a family-owned business, it aims to offer a very personal service. With its owners looking to retire, the opportunity provided potential buyers the chance to take on a business built on “strong relationships with long-standing clients, with a very high turnover and strong EBITDA”, explained Sara Manville, Knightsbridge Senior Sales Negotiator. 14 NDAs RECEIVED A comprehensive research strategy was mapped out, which utilised Knightsbridge’s extensive buyer database, attracting a total of 14 interested parties. Our client was delighted, complementing our service: “The marketing material produced by Knightsbridge was excellent and we were pleased that Sara worked with us to identify suitable targets for direct mailings.” 4 MEETINGS SECURED Attracting the most suitable buyer was important to our client, who wanted to ensure that their long-standing company will continue to grow under new ownership. The owners further paid their “thanks to Sara and the Knightsbridge team”, going on to praise us for our “help and support in finding a buyer for our business”. 3 OFFERS TABLED The business was sold within a few months of the company going live on the market. A satisfied client is satisfaction for Knightsbridge, and receiving praise is the cherry on top of the cake: “Sara was attentive and encouraging and always had our best interests at heart. She liaised with our solicitor right up until the day of completion, she kept things moving and also kept everyone in the loop. Many thanks Sara for achieving such a great result.”
